Probably some major fans of Jeebus who would say yes.
They pray for it between tornado warnings.

The most prominent example is
The most prominent example is the Great Flood of 1862, a natural disaster that still ranks as the largest flood in the history of the American West. Between Dec. 1861 and Jan. 1862, the West Coast received a near-constant deluge of rain. Sacramento received a stunning 23 inches in that period, turning the city into a watery ghost town.
That was hardly the worst of it. A Tuolumne County paper reported that 1,400 Chinese migrants died in the flooding state-wide. One-third of the property in the state was destroyed and 800,000 cattle died, a mass die-off that marked "the beginning of the end of the cattle-based ranchero society in California."
Settlers realized the homes that survived had something in common: They were built in the spots where Native Americans originally put down settlements. Native stories spoke of the Sacramento Valley as an inland sea. For centuries, they'd seen the valley fill with water, and the Nevada City Democrat reported that "Indians living in the vicinity of Marysville left their abodes a week or more ago for the foothills predicting an unprecedented overflow.

A Pacific front will approach the area bringing precipitation to the western portions of the region Wednesday afternoon/evening before slowly spreading east throughout the night. The front moves through on Thursday bringing periods of moderate rain, gusty wind and mountain snow. Snow levels will be generally above pass levels through Wednesday before lowering below 7,000 ft Thursday afternoon and possibly down to 6,000 ft by Thursday night. Scattered showers possible Thursday night into Friday in the post frontal unstable airmass. There is the potential for another storm system to follow later Friday or over the weekend.

Not sure the train derailment
Not sure the train derailment was flood related.
It has been really interesting watching how they manage water. I drive over massive rice fields every day, typically they are, I dunno,40 feet below. They usually flood it by a few feet in winter, to grow rice, waterfowl, flood control. A few weeks ago they opened the big floodgates for the first time in 10 years and it rose about 30 feet in a couple hours. It looked like an ocean. It was amazing. It's how they keep Sacramento from flooding, which did did all the time back in the day. Pretty cool.

Lake Oroville[1] is a
Lake Oroville[1] is a reservoir formed by the Oroville Dam impounding the Feather River, located in Butte County, northern California. The lake is situated 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of the city of Oroville, within the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area, in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Known as the second-largest reservoir in California, Lake Oroville is treated as a keystone facility within the California State Water Project by storing water, providing flood control, recreation, freshwater releases assist in controlling the salinity intrusion Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and protecting fish and wildlife.
The lake is a popular nationally renowned bass fishing location,[3] while coho salmon are stocked from the Feather River Fish Hatchery.[4] This hatchery is a main component of Lake Oroville.
