No, Godzilla wasn't necessary. But it came really really close. Check this photo in the Chron: [ww2.hdnux.com]
Or go to the story and click through the pics. A little misleading - the park and the flooded home/farms were on the river side of the levees - but still a major event. [www.sfgate.com]
And while things are calmer now it ain't over. Expedient repairs are being done and the water level has been dramatically lowered; but if anything goes wrong in the next couple of months, before the heavy snowpack melts off, it'll be right back where it was.
