The Island must have looked like a thick piece of flat cardboard...with people living on it... :o...!

Paul.... ;D... ;D....!

Apart from the Earthquakes (1906, etc), most of San Francisco is built on top of a hill...(The Film: Bullet: Steve McQueen!)... ;)...!

Parts of our City of London are below the level of the River Thames!...the reason for the Flood Barrier....>>>

Makes you question the wisdom of our forefathers doesn't it Paul. Look at New Orleans; what idiot decided to build a coastal city [glow=yellow,2,300]below[/glow] sea level? New York, Miami and many, many more are bad enough. I seem to remember something about a foolish man building his house on sand.... or something along those lines. ::)

patchz, ninety miles north of the coast, house on 2.5' piers and his feet up...


Only the lowest parts of NOLA are below sea level... and the site was, and still is, pretty useful, despite the problems with storm surges and tides, considering it's at the mouth of the most important river on the continent.  ;)

It's a common thing with port cities all over the world... they were very important, when they were founded, due to the importance of waterborne shipping back then... but port cities tend to be near water; it can't be helped.  ;D
