Ancient Storm Cycles

NYTimes (free reg required, blah blah blah) has this article on newly discovered evidence that the east coast of America may experience "storm cycles", millenia-long peaks and valleys of storm intensity. They base their evidence on sedimentary deposits in several northeast US lakes, and the conclusion is we're at the beginning of a new "intense" period, which could lead to floods many times more intense than anything experienced during historic times in this region.

And *gasp* they're not blaming it on global warming. Yet.

No-prize to Pat!
