Re-reading _The Massive_ # 6 tonight...

[dewline]

Been re-reading The Massive # 6 today.

One thing in the text pieces got my attention.

"The Great Lakes region expanded its water-surface area by roughly 4,000 square miles. The Upper Michigan Peninsula is no more."

Thunder Bay. Nipigon. Marathon. Wawa. Sault Ste. Marie. Manitoulin Island.

Elliot Lake? Sudbury? North Bay?

Parry Sound. Snug Harbour. Penetanguishene. Wiarton.

Goderich. Sarnia. Windsor. Point Pelee. Port Stanley.

The Niagara Peninsula. Niagara Falls. St. Catharines. Hamilton. Oakville. Mississauga.

Toronto.

Oshawa. Cobourg. Belleville. Kingston. Brockville. Cornwall.

All gone too after the Crash.

Whatever it turns out to have really been.

I'll keep reading The Massive and get back to you...

Sounds interesting ... is the science relatively plausible, or is it full of handwaving and cringe-worthiness?

Brian Wood doesn't go into much detail, although the Crash overall seems like the sort of "apocalypse" scenario you'd find in Gwynne Dyer's book Climate Wars.

And to be honest, this started out as a letter-of-comment e-mail to Brian, and a bit of extrapolation based on the text feature's notes on How Bad Things Have Become for North America.
