If there was such an event I imagine water wouldn't be our only problem..

When we lived in Florida, we were about 65 miles from Cape Canaveral as the crow flies, I told Joyce it was the best place to be. If there were a nuclear strike there we would go from 98.6° to several thousand degrees in a matter of seconds and never know what hit us, as oppossed to being left to deal with the fall-out....
We used to watch the shuttle blast off in our back yard, and was watching the sky in the front yard the day it burned up on re-entry. Just saw a flash on the western horizon.

Looks like I'm sitting at about 420-430' above sea level. I wonder if another asteroid like the dinosaur killer in the gulf would cause a tidal wave high enough to reach me this far inland... I guess they said the one that killed the dinos would have been at least a mile high... Not that the tidal wave would be the only worry... raining fire world wide and the heating of the atmosphere would obviously be just as deadly. I better get started on my underground shelter/hideout huh?

I wouldn't be too concerned about an asteroid....now a Tornado may be more pertinent....

Focus @Latestarter! You need fences more than you need a fallout shelter
Um 1,900' WOW! Sure glad you didn't buy the place without a well. Around here that would break most anyone's bank account.
Confused about "We only have a little less than 19' ..." Is that acres since @misfitmorgan mentioned acres?

My parents' well is over 900' deep. It was not cheap for them!

Yes Bruce I meant 19 acres. My laptop has some Windows issues and if I'm not watching as I type it (the cursor) will move random directions in the text field so I'll blame that typo on Microsoft.
The original owner of our place had family that was in the well drilling business.

The thermometer said we got up to 50° today, but it was the coldest 50° we have ever felt. The WC had to be much colder, the tips of my fingers took at least an hour to get warm enough for the feeling to come back in them. Needless to say, we only did what had to be done outside today. The winds are shifting to be from the S so the temps will be increasing, finally...but, we have rain coming tomorrow off/on all day. Sun is to return on Saturday with a hi of 69°. I have got to get things finished, but the weather certainly isn't being cooperative very much. I will however, work Sat and Sun on getting ready to order the fencing this next wk. There are other things crowding the agenda...the transition to the house, and family coming in the end of May for a visit. Not to mention the mowing, tree trimming, Garden to work, and preparing for the grandchildren's visit. That means I have to do some Fishing to have some in the freezer for a fish fry, in case they don't catch enough to eat....there will be 10 total people here and both SILs are sizeable young men with a healthy appetite. So, a few bags of fillets in the freezer already is insurance.....

It never ends, does it CntryBoy? There is always something new to add to the long To-Do List, isn't there?
