    The Ice Age floods Institute promotes understanding of the huge floods that burst from Glacial Lake Missoula in Montana and swept through the Columbia River  
    http://www.iceagefloodsinstitute.org/
    
    Extractions: A perplexing scientific puzzle still being solved... The Ice Age Floods This painting gives a hint of the awesome force and volume of the Ice Age Floods. It shows the first rush of a Missoula Flood coming into the lower Columbia River Gorge. The speed of the floods approached 60 mph through the Gorge. Beacon Rock is in the distance, and Crown Point is in the right foreground. At maximum flow, the largest of the floods filled the Gorge, overtopping Crown Point. (Image: "The Arrival" © 2001 Stev H. Ominski & Brian Swaren. More information here During the last Ice Age (18,000 to 12,000 years ago), and in multiple previous Ice Ages, cataclysmic floods inundated portions of the Pacific Northwest from Glacial Lake Missoula, pluvial Lake Bonneville, and perhaps from subglacial outbursts. Glacial Lake Missoula was a body of water as large as some of the USA's Great Lakes. This lake formed from glacial meltwater that was dammed by a lobe of the Canadian ice sheet. Episodically, perhaps every 40 to 140 years, the waters of this huge lake forced its way past the ice dam, inundating parts of the Pacific Northwest. Eventually, the ice receded northward far enough that the dam did not reform, and the flooding episodes ceased.

43. CNN.com - At Least Two Die In Floods - March 7, 2001
    http://cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/03/07/hungary.floods.02/index.html
    
    Extractions: BUDAPEST, Hungary Two people have died and up to 25,000 are homeless after floods washed through eastern Europe. A fatal combination of heavy rains, melting snow and burst dykes has left areas of Hungary, Romania and the Ukraine prone to severe flooding. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who toured the flooded area, told state radio it had been the cutback of trees in the Ukraine and Romania that was to blame for the record floods hitting his country for the fourth year in a row. Rising waters on the three rivers Tisza, Tur and Szamos, forced emergency services to use boats to reach homes ringed by muddy water as high as a metre ( three feet). At least 200 villages in western Ukraine and northeastern Hungary were submerged and up to 25,000 people were being evacuated. The two victims, an 83-year-old and a 54-year-old man, lived in villages in the Ukraine, the emergency situations ministry said.

    http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/22.html
    
    Extractions: Related Information Denial of service (DoS) attacks are common on the Internet. The first step in responding to such an attack is to find out exactly what sort of attack it is. Many of the commonly used DoS attacks are based on high-bandwidth packet floods, or on other repetitive streams of packets. The packets in many DoS attack streams can be isolated by matching them against Cisco IOS® software access list entries. This is valuable for filtering out attacks, but is also useful for characterizing unknown attacks, and for tracing "spoofed" packet streams back to their real sources. Cisco router features such as debug logging and IP accounting can sometimes be used for similar purposes, especially with new or unusual attacks. However, with recent versions of Cisco IOS software, access lists and access list logging are the premiere features for characterizing and tracing common attacks. There are no specific requirements for this document.

    Extractions: LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) Raging thunderstorms pounded Las Vegas on Thursday, turning streets and culverts into rushing waterways that swept away mobile homes and swallowed up hundreds of cars. At least two people were killed. "It's a nightmare," said Nevada Highway Patrol spokesman Scott Flabi. "It's one of the worst things I've ever seen." "This ranks up there with one of the worst storms in quite some time," said Jim Harrison, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Las Vegas. "It's possibly the worst in 100 years. It's definitely the worst in the last 15 years."

Courtesy Associated Press 16 Mar 2000 After weeks of rain and storms in February, Mozambique's rivers were covering floodplains by the thousands of square kilometers. As people desperately sought higher ground, they were chased out when the waters rose further. With their wells under water, the flood refugees drank polluted water, raising the specter of epidemic. As international agencies and militaries gradually move into position, the death toll is unknown, but probably is in the thousands. The natural disaster capped a year of rapid economic growth after decades of civil war, destroying homes and businesses, killing livestock, and apparently setting the economy back by several decades.

Flooding is forecast in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, the China Daily reported Monday. Army units are preparing for emergency operations, with water levels expected to reach 120 to 180 mm in some areas, while Premier Zhu Rongji stressed that flood control "has an extremely important bearing on economic development and social stability." Already tens of thousands of soldiers, People's Armed Police and reservists are part of rescue operations in at least seven provinces as land and mudslides hamper efforts to stem the rising waters across the country.

Damage survey, St. Genevieve, Missouri Courtesy FEMA Standing a dozen feet above its neighbors, this house in St. Charles County, Mo., may be ready for the next flood. Wetlands swamps, marshes, fens and bogs are natural water-storage features on the landscape. Once considered wasted land at best, or lurking-grounds for evil at worst, wetlands are essential wildlife habitat, massive natural water filters, and "natural sponges" that hold water when it rains, then release it slowly. Wetlands are also under assault. In Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, for example, more than 80 percent have been destroyed, often by draining for farms or development. Currently, in the United States, the pace of destruction is most extreme in the coastal wetlands of Louisiana, which shelter New Orleans from hurricanes. Levees built by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers guide the Mississippi River and its silt through a narrow shipping channel to the Gulf of Mexico. Now, when the wetlands are eroded by storms, there's no dirt to rebuild them. "We now have a levee system to nearly the edge of the continental shelf, so the sediment gets dumped off ... into the deep part of the Gulf, and it doesn't build land any more," says Stephen Nelson, a professor of geology at Tulane University, so the barrier wetlands are disappearing. "We're losing our protection from hurricanes, and the biggest worry about flooding around [New Orleans] comes from

Bodies of villagers were lying in mountain gorges, and rescuers were having difficulty due to the heavy rain in the area, 250 miles north of New Delhi. Thirty bridges were damaged in the flooding along a 180-mile stretch of the Sutlej River, said B.D.

    Extractions: Back If there is too much water in a river or rain is too heavy then you might get a flood. Floods are not always a 'bad' thing to happen. In this picture the River Nile in Egypt has flooded. Fresh rich soil has been carried by the water into the fields. But usually floods are dangerous. They cause great damage and can kill many people. The next pictures show floods that have been caused by heavy rain or melting snow sometimes hundreds of miles away. In 1998 the Yangtze River in China broke through its banks in many places. This man has lost his house. All that he has left is the small pile in front of him. This boat carries men through six-metre deep floods to their village. More than 1,000 people died in the raging flood waters. In August 1998, Bathurst, 209 km west of Sydney, suffered the worst flood in the town's history. They were lucky. The water only rose slowly. No such luck here. The water sweeps away farmhouses and anything else that gets in its way. Think about the animals! The Mississippi floods regularly. The flood of 1993 was unusual in that it reached well beyond the "100 year" level. The "100 year" level simply means a flood so big that it's only likely to happen once in a hundred years.
