"The day President Richard Nixon was being sworn in for a second term, San Luis Obispo was coping with a more localized disaster. In 1969, record flooding hammered the county over a one-week span. Four years later, in January 1973, torrential rains brought a second 100-year flood to San Luis Obispo. According to Telegram-Tribune stories and a booklet titled “The Day the Rains Came … January 18, 1973,” the flood resulted from nature’s distribution of rainfall and man’s ability to ignore the warning signs. An evening drizzle developed into steady all-night rain and finished with a fierce deluge." (from the Tribune) .
