Just read this http://www.sott.net/articles/show/221680-Walls-of-Water-10ft-High-in-a-Month-Long-Mega-Hurricane-California-Told-to-Prepare-for-Biblical-ARkStorm- on Sott and wanted to see what the heavens had to show for the year 1861, see if there were any correlations to this great rise of the inland sea of California.

Interestingly enough, came across this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/1861_J1 for that very same year. The exact earth/comet tail passage was earlier than the storm surge of that same year, but the effects were noted and possibly influential?

The Great Comet of 1861 formally designated C/1861 J1 and 1861 II, was a comet that was visible to the naked eye for approximately 3 months. It was categorized as a Great Comet, one of eight in the 19th century.

It was discovered by John Tebbutt of Windsor, New South Wales, Australia, on May 13, 1861, with an apparent magnitude of +4, a month before perihelion (June 11). It was not visible in the northern hemisphere until June 29, but it arrived before word of the comet's discovery.

The comet of 1861 interacted with the Earth in an almost unprecedented way. For two days, when the comet was at its closest (0.1326 AU), the Earth was actually within the comet's tail, and streams of cometary material converging towards the distant nucleus could be seen. By day also the comet's gas and dust even obscured the Sun.

By the middle of August the comet was no longer visible to the naked eye, but it was visible in telescopes until May 1862. An elliptical orbit with a period of about 400 years was calculated, which would indicate a previous appearance about the middle of the 15th century, and a return in the 23rd century.

As of 1992 this Great Comet had traveled more than 100 AU from the Sun, making it even further away than dwarf planet Eris. It will come to aphelion around 2063.

I. Hasegawa and S. Nakano suggest that this comet is identical with C/1500 H1. [2]

Here is a historical accounting of the storm serge called "THE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB OF REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA - Founded 24 January 1895 - THE GREAT CALIFORNIA FLOOD OF 1862 BY W. LEONARD TAYLOR M.D. AND ROBERT W. TAYLOR Ph.D." which offers comparisons and other data.

There is a blow-by blow chronology that includes 10-15 feet of snow accumulated in the Sierra Nevada and 23 degree F temperatures in San Fransisco. No references to the prior comet passage.

Yes, there does seem to be a correlation between comets and disasters on earth even if the comets just appear and disappear. James McCanney is really onto something. Who knows what else will happen!
