This is what I got of the Colorado Springs Fires in FSX with the Canadair CL-215 Aircraft used for fighting Fires.

Please do NOT link images, it slows the forums down for other users.

And in Cork,midleton and some other towns and cities in the south are flooded with above-waiste water due to heavy rain.

I HATE THESE LIMESTONE LAYERS!

The thing I love about Limestone geology, is that it produces some lovely scenery..underground caves and water-ways, Heathland, etc.

My local area, Herefordshire, is an "Old Red Sandstone" geology, with a red, clay soil...no caves!

Paul...ex Cave Explorer... Cool

The county Cork has 2 main stones: red sandstone on top and everywhere in a few areas and limestone layers right below that,in some places the limestone is closer to the surface then other spots and because the water has no-where to go it causes flooding.
Another thing is is that the water sometimes erodes the limestone away so you get holes everywhere,the toll-road in fermoy for example has problems every year with put-holes because it sits ontop of a giant limestone slab near the surface.
Limestone does cause alot of caves tough,wich is nice,if they aren't in a farmers cow field and flooded like the nearby cloine caves. Undecided
