Mike Barkley believes the City of Manteca has an obligation to lay all of the cards on the table when it comes to the general plan update. The card is one that Mother Nature played in 1862. It is one that hydrologists and climatologists believe will be played again. It involves the well-documented 43 consecutive days of rain that took place between November 1861 and February 1862 that flooded almost the entire Central Valley with many spots in then developed Stockton and Sacramento reported with as much as 10 feet of water.
