| Sep 8, 2021 at 15:06 | comment | added | Jan | @Wilk did they have a flood marker for 1870? mobile.twitter.com/romanhistory1/status/1365054599892258827 | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 15:03 | comment | added | Jan | @Robert Columbia: No mountains between Dresden and Hamburg, and indeed a lot of water does flow from Dresden to Hamburg all the time. The reason Hamburg does not get submerged is a combination of terrain gradient and volumetric flow rate. Here is a video where the guy with the camera is actually able to film the flood from below, even if he does it only for a few seconds: youtu.be/oI1WGHqcQxI | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 13:50 | comment | added | Willk | @Jan - you are right about street view. I can see the dome of the Pantheon from the church. The Pantheon is big. But the larger building is more or less in a twenty foot deep hole. | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 12:51 | comment | added | Robert Columbia♦ | @Jan that explains why the Pacific Ocean doesn't spill over into Death Valley (there are mountains in the way). It doesn't explain why the water level would be different a few blocks away in the same city. | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 11:59 | comment | added | Jan | But according to google street view, it seems like Santa Maria Sopra Minerva is right next (or maybe rather behind) the Pantheon, with no readily apparent differences in elevation. | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 11:52 | comment | added | Jan | Floods follow the terrain. The Elbe river bed is about 100 m above sea level in Dresden and very close to sea level in Hamburg. If there is a flood in Dresden, it does not follow that in Hamburg every building that is smaller than 100 m will be completely submerged. | |
| Sep 8, 2021 at 11:52 | comment | added | Robert Columbia♦ | @jamesqf there are a few other possibilities: 1) The flood marker was falsified. 2) The flood marker was moved, possibly during a renovation or similar. 3) One or more of the buildings have been relocated since the flood. | |

| Sep 7, 2021 at 22:50 | comment | added | Henry | @MCW The "Great Flood" of the Tiber was 1557 as indicted on the marker. Other major floods that century were 1530 and 1598 | |

| Sep 7, 2021 at 14:32 | comment | added | Lars Bosteen | Seems unlikely. It's at 15m above mean sea level and 43m in height. However, it has been flooded many times according to this article. | |
