The above plot is the greyscale version of the first figure from this webpage . The horizontal axis, again, shows the day of 2017, counting from one at midnight of January 1, 2017. For the moment, I've omitted the windspeed data from the original figure, in the interests of decipherability.
I obtained the original BK ORV HHZ seismic data from the Northern California Earthquake
Data Center.2 The reservoir outflow and rainfall data came from the California Data Exchange Center.1
By the way, the lines below are how I defined the custom waterdrop symbol in GMT 4.5.15... But you may need to replace the spaces in each line with tabs, if you want to save this as a custom symbol file for your own use. I'm not sure if GMT requires those tabs or not.

This isn't a trick website that keeps redirecting you to my page of flooded-Florida maps at all. No. Of course not.
See? I wasn't even lying about that! Try clicking this link instead!

Also, major credit where credit is due! I made the above plot with Generic Mapping Tools Version 4.5.15; you can find more information about GMT at http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/projects/gmt .
