(154,021 posts)they all have had a local flood at one time or another.
This is Mexico, just LAST year
I will include Katrina...
Rivers do that. So when rivers do that, people write stories about it. Major floods will be transmitted down. The point is, what Neil DeGresse Tyson said, there is pretty much agreement on it. He did not, in any shape, or form, go out the reservation.
I am betting that people will talk of the two floods I just showed you the same way people still talk of the Great 1927 flood.

Think of that this way, when you have a critical event that affects tens of thousands of people, it will go into song and story telling. I am actually shocked not to have seen that happen with Katrina. That is how stories are born.
