#5 I toured Valencia several years ago, seeing several large, fantastic, architectural wonders (museums, etc.) in a former riverbed. The guide explained the old river kept flooding, so they moved it outside of town and used the old bed for development. Great idea!

I wonder if nature flooded the new, man-made course or the original route. Or both.

#6 ^ a year’s worth of rain fell in just eight hours
Yes, Bobby. If San Diego got 9+ inches in 8 hours, I would have beachfront property, with rubble riprap
