NYC Under Water

I don't know if anyone read the story in the Metro New York paper on Wednesday, April 14th or not. But there was a story about a possible flood in NYC by the year 2100. Now I know this is many years ahead, and everyone of us living now won't see it, but NYC officials said they wanted to prepare now by creating wetlands in Lower Manhattan. They have other ideas as well.

You may find the article by going to www.metro.us.

And you don't think the writers might be pulling your leg?

So, I guess I don't want to invest in any real estate downtown, then?

I'm guessing the city would do something to keep out the water. You would think some genius is working on that technology as we chat about it. Not sure how they're going to save the entire state of Florida, though. Oh, well.

@JenMac Nah, world destruction's behind schedule, as usual...

@ ajadeidealist Me neither. That place is just crawling with members of the Bush clan.

My bad, BroadwayBK, I meant 2012. We have another 2 years until we all float!

@JenMac: Where did you get such a crazy idea of the world ending in 2010.

@BroadwayBK: Nothing will happen in 2012 either. Just shifting of planets and a few natural disasters, but not the end of the world.

@Everyone even I have friends who are paranoid about water levels rising in NYC in the future.. they often talk about the future floods in the East River . so maybe there is some truth to the story .who knows what havoc Mother Nature has in store for us?for instance who anticipated the wild floods that drowned so many parts of NJ earlier this year?

I think I'd miss downtown Manhattan if water levels went up. Yeah, Florida wouldn't get my tears, but downtown is kind of special and full of history. I'd get all sentimental if it turned to swampland.

@BroadwayBK: The natural disasters you see now are the same you would see in 2012, only more magnified.

Some Mayan professor (studying ancient Mayan culture) went on the news a few weeks ago to say that in fact the world is NOT ending in 2012 - and that is as miscalculation on the part of the media - it should already have ended ages ago, or something...

@JenMac Maybe the Mayans are on the moon, sipping cocktails and laughing at us?

Sipping cocktails and laughing at that movie Mel Gibson made about them, more like it.
