I was thinking of 2017 - 2017 & 2019 were both HUGE rain years - I get them mixed up.
The gates at H st are to protect the midtown/downtown area. I have an old Sacramento history book with a picture from a flood (1940, 1950 or 1955 - can't remember which) of the entire area on the OTHER side completely flooded. The area where Campus Commons is now was totally under water and the Sac State area was not. The book said that those levies have since been raised.
