Yeh, I deal with a company that is based in Sacramento, on a hunch I checked out their site on Google Earth. They are about 80 miles from San Fransisco Bay, but only at an elevation of 16 or 17 feet. And they are behind a earthen levee. Over time I have heard repeat comments that the levee's in CA are not being maintained properly.
And then there is the 1862 flood.
