The task:
- Pick up the nearest book.
- Open to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the next three sentences.
- Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.
I am tagging LORDSOMBER, JMB, JAMS, WELSHCAKES and COLIN.
There are a few I can't choose as they have already been tagged but take up the challenge anyway even if you haven't been tagged. All those who have visited here, have a go at this.
Ok I have picked up Extreme Weather by Christopher. C. Burt. On page 123 I have found the fifth sentence and the next three sentences are as follows:
Storm-surge floods--when a sudden rise in the sea level inundates coastal areas, usually during intense hurricanes prior to the landfall of the eye. Also happens on a lesser scale from intense storms of a non-tropical nature,like the "northeasters" of the Atlantic Coast. Dam failure flood-- more often than not the result of faulty engineering, and consequently not covered in this book.
