What did he use to get there, the Re-TARDIS?

FYI: I directed that comment DIRECTLY at Al Gore, because even though god gifted him with a somewhat normal human Brain he has decided NOT to use it.

New research indicates that one of the largest fresh-water floods in Earth's history happened about 17,000 years ago and inundated a large area of Alaska that is now occupied in part by the city of Wasilla, widely known because of the 2008 presidential campaign. Oh, the irony! ;^)

Marge would have needed a few extra rolls of Bounty to clean up them ‘spills’.

The megaflood that covered the Wasilla region released as much as 1,400 cubic kilometers, or 336 cubic miles, of water, enough to cover an area the size of Washington, D.C., to a depth of nearly 5 miles. That's a good start.

I used to live in Wasilla on a bluff overlooking the “Palmer Hayflats” through which this flood flowed. I kept having a recurring dream that I woke up and there was water lapping at the base of the bluff.
Then I moved to Pocatello, Idaho where the Bonneville Flood that drained Great Salt Lake flowed through the Portneuf Narrows.
Now I live in Sandpoint, ID along Lake Pend Oreille. The lake was the terminus for the glacier that dammed up the Clark Fork River and formed Glacial Lake Missoula.
What IS it with me and prehistoric mega-floods?

So the Federal revenge plot against Alaska is out in the open.
The only question is how long until they throw us all out for building on wetlands.

Wow, thanks decimon! Pretty neat, one of four (that are currently known), nice! Here's something smaller (still impressive) and much more recent --
