No floods. I'm not planning anything with water.

Perhaps you have failed to notice the vast numbers of people currently sporting gills. A flood is entirely possible.

No I noticed but I was responsible for the power outage. I'm telling you I won't be responsible for a flood should that happen. You'll have to take it up with the deities.

She'll kill you for being required to do her job?

[idmakeitaweek]

For making her job needlessly difficult.
