I have never heard of the Los Angeles flood of 1938, so I want to learn about it. It seems to have some background information about the flood, statistics about the flood, and aftermath.

 * It could be improved by finding more information about the cultural and social impact of the flood


 * It has less than 25 sources, many of which are newspaper articles rather than academic journals.
 * Could add section about history of floods in the areas
 * Could add section about the areas in current times
 * I.e. how did the flood impact the economy, standards of living/hygiene, access to education, etc.
 * Add more to the sections "Riverside and Orange Counties" and "High Desert"
 * add more articles to the "See Also" section
