There aren't very many around where I live unfortunately.

That's pretty neat. Do you know the history of Japanese hydroelectric dams? Were a lot of these built in the post-war period? Were any destroyed during the aerial bombings of WWII?

When I was a kid I heard a rumor that if the Hoover Dam broke then my entire city would be underwater. I used to spend so many hours of my life imagining life under ten or twenty feet of water. To this day I still love fantasizing about swimming through the halls in my house with only tree tops and roofs sticking up out of the water.

Doesn't that seem like it'd be fun?

I saw an entire document in where the British or someone developed this special kind of bomb that skips on water and was developed to blow up dams.
It was pretty cool.

What is your house made from that would prevent it from just collapsing from water damage?

I don't know how it could collapse from water damage. It's more likely to float away or simply flood when the windows break.

Yes when I was a kid I liked to imagine swimming through my house with it flooded. I imagined it being like a swimming pool with water almost up the ceiling.

I guess in reality it would be dirty water full of garbage and being able to see through it would be impossible.

The dirt would settle eventually, then it'd be somewhat like this. You could probably swim through the halls pretty nicely.

A landslide/violent surge of water isn't the same kind of destruction as slowly rising water levels.

Anyone interested in beaver dams? These things are amazing. I've walked across one that had been abandoned for several years and it was rock solid and didn't show any signs of coming apart.
