The flooding will do those Louisianan swamplands a lot of good-swamps need water not fertiliser.

You live on a tsunami-risk island....

Is this the latest from Levack?

Because only a thin strip of WCVI is @ risk-it's happened in the past and will happen again but it's NBFD.

Around 1715 there was a giant tsunami that wiped out the the west coast decimating the native population. They discovered down in Oregon or Washington that there is one that regularly hits the coast every 3 - 5 hundred years. You are due.

Considering that the prairies were once part of an inland sea, flooding there should not surprise anybody. But I guess no matter where you live on this planet, there is always some drawbacks.

Sensationalism is so entrancing when viewed through the foggy mists of time-Yes there was an event but local indigenous didn't find it overwhelming or even particularly notable.

Hudson Bay is still rising - and probably will for the next 40 thousand years. Frost is holding the works up now. (NOTE: I mean in this here and now today) Maybe in around 25 thousand years, when the Red goes down the Mississippi again, things will straighten out.

I just came up with a good joke.....a real howler.


What is the difference between Saskatchewan and Manitoba?


In Manitoba you can watch your dog swim away for three days!
