Well – in this way it looks like your “price of prosperity”. For example – Russian imperial capital – Snt. Petersburg – also controls the same tradeway on the corss of big river Neva and Baltic Sea. And they also have floods. This is the price. ?

It also violates the US Constitution for a city (or a state for that matter) to control interstate commerce.

The Idea of the first settlers here is that there is a big, big continent north of here through which a big, big river runs. If you control where that river meets the sea you can control basically what gets shipped into and out of that big, big continent. And keeping control is a very good way to make money. Unfortunately, recently the leadership has decided that wasn’t sexy enough so they created this whole new industry based around throwing parties so that we can create jobs for maids and bus boys and dishwashers.

B: i was out on the streets between about 1pm and 3pm.
I’m about as certain as I can be that the pumps weren’t on during the worst of the flooding until about 145 or 200 when it became obvious that the drains started sucking water.
I’ve heard two other people describe this.
Have you heard anything about this?
Any idea how to investigate whether and why they pumps may not have been running full bore starting early yesterday AM?

Floods. Hm. What was the idea of those who were the first settlers there?

It’s been wet in Seattle also. No street flooding though.
