dikes have a way of failing when they're overwhelmed.

when the water comes over the dutch dikes, it'll also flood most of
the land to the north of here.  it'll take a little while longer to
reach here (but if i had bought that house out in soham ... well,
that's pretty damn close to sea level, lots of the land round there is
below.)
