Yep I do remember that. When I was 9, our house in France had 8 feet of
water in it. The island where I lived, the average altitude was 4 feet under
sea level. A few dikes and levees broke and wham no more island. It was like
a 15 mile long island disappeared! Everything is now rebuilt and I don't
think it can happen again.
