I figured catastrophism was real in 2011 when part of the Pacific plate moved 9 feet west and 40 to 60 feet up/down with in a minute or 2 after hearing "they only move 2 inches per year". Yeah 2 inches on average but occasionally meters at a time.
And then again in 2014 when Arizona flooded so hard topographic maps had to be redrawn after that one flood.
Even casual observations seem to warrant the existence of catastrophism.
