Check out the map which puts the flooded area in perspective. Almost the same as Germany and France combined.

World's falling apart.  Maybe there's something to all these end of the world thoughts.  Weather's going crazy everywhere, bees and birds are dying off, world governments get more and more stupid by the hour.  It certainly isn't a time where optimists have it easy.

Hehe Que you're a comic book Doomsayer! :P I imagine you as Rorschach from Watchmen! :D

That said, it does look pretty bleak out there. Nonetheless, I have to do my best to stay positive and keep everyone in good spirits (worst-case scenario I'll resort to expensive spirits).

I'm all for expensive spirits.  End of the world?  Nah!  Just find good company and have a few . . .

I hear Brazil is getting righteously owned at the moment too. Craziness.
