@ai6yr @Sustainable2050 And yikes - it really did wipe out most of the town. Looks like it went down the mountain and filled up the valley, flowing up and down it before it ran out of energy. Looks like everything above the drawn orange line was wiped out, aside from homes in the lower right area which are on a steep hillside.
