Me:  How "good one is in bed" has more to do with the combination
than with any skill.

Typhoon Ketsana has caused devastating flash floods in the Philippines and Vietnam.  I thought I knew what "flash flood" meant, but when I look at the photos at Boston.com, I realize that I didn't really understand how fast it must have been.  There are people climbing electric wires, clinging in neck-high water to the sides of buildings.  It looks like they had no warning at all.  As to how strong, see the photo above.  Those cars were lifted and thrown before they had enough time to fill and sink.
