The Los Angeles flood of 1938 was one of the largest floods in the history of Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties in southern California. The flood was caused by two Pacific storms that swept across the Los Angeles Basin in February-March 1938 and generated almost one year's worth of precipitation in just a few days. Between 113–115 people were killed by the flooding.
The flood of 1938 is considered a 50-year flood. It caused $78 million of damage ($1.43 billion in 2020 dollars), making it one of the costliest natural disasters in Los Angeles' history
