Quote:so the sources of the water could be torrential rain, the deep springs, indian ocean rushing thru the strait, sudden snow melt of surrounding mts.None of which are capable of producing the deluge, not even all at once. Let alone without leaving a trace. I think that you're seriously underestimating the requirements.
