Could this be a big flood year?

[Dirty Sanchez]

There appears to be about a 20 year flood cycle, give or take a couple years.  Of course '93 was the last one, 17 years ago.  So we're about due.  We had a wet winter and by appearances we're having a fairly wet spring.  I'm having a feeling that this could continue and this could be another one of those years.

Manhattan in 93 was awesome.  Spill way was amazing to watch.

I like a couple of the bars in the Annapolis Harbor. Does that count?

I guess this would work great if you like barnacles on your house, dummy.
ALSO
you would have to have a captain in your house at all times (maritime law).

It would be tough to keep the house level during the dry season.  And during the rainy season there would be too many encroachment violations as the boat-houses inevitably drifted across building setbacks and easements.  It would be a nightmare for city inspectors.

Just like the Left Behind series predicted.  No doubt in my mind that (n)Obama is the AntiChrist now.
