15_Chronic City: Baltimore Edition

I just finished reading Johnathan Lethem's Chronic City and the timing couldn't have been more appropriate.  You see, in that book, among the various other happenings in Manhattan is The Tiger, a mythical beast that destroys buildings in the city seemingly at random.  As the story progresses, the buildings destroyed by the Tiger begin to directly effect the characters.

It seems like something out of a work of fiction, right?


I give you Light Street, just a block north of the Harbor.  A water mane burst yesterday, flooding all the important streets Downtown and making travel through the city almost impossible.  So was it just an accident, a random happenstance, or has the Tiger migrated South to Charm City?  We shall see...
