I'd get in touch with Jonathan P. Thompson (bsky.app/profile/land...): www.landdesk.org/p/the-1911-f.... He's a fantastic researcher and no one knows the Four Corners like he does.
The 1911 Flood: Could it happen again?
But first: To those of you who have donated generously to our “tip jar/coffee-cash-pot/flood-recovery fund” (you know who you are): Thank you.

TC gurus (@bmcnoldy.bsky.social @drmetwatch.bsky.social et al) is there a source of long-ago E Pacific tracks? Early October 1911 sounds like it was maybe a similar pattern with moisture from multiple storms in the southwest US (and big floods), but not sure where to track down details.

Some truly crazy rain totals in parts of the San Juans. Worst rainstorm in some spots in 80+ years.

Unfortunately...more rain on the way there tomorrow/Tuesday.
