Yup -
Been there had it done to me.

But on Kwajalein, the highest spot of nature was 6'.
highest spot of man was a 2 story concrete building.
The island (of the atoll of the same name) is 2500 NM south west of
Hawaii.
Our flood was the 1964 Good Friday earthquake in ALaska.
The tidal wave (sounds like tidal basin..) of 6' a.k.a. 2 M slammed into
us
hours after it smashed up the north coast of the Hawaiian islands.

Back to Tx - and the mid west - the general slope of land is 2'/mile.

Yeah, if you're a yooper, but from southeast Texas, it might as well
be the North Pole. And Midland isn't flat compared to the coastal
plain south of Houston. My mother took us to "Big Hill" when we were
kids. It was 15' high.
