I think it is the geology department we need to call on here. It seems pretty clear the suck is starting to leach into the water table.
Fiami's sucking is so powerful, it leaches into Collins Creek, which flows into Four-Mile Creek, which empties into Sevenmile Creek, which flows into the Great Miami River, which empties into the Ohio, then into the Mississippi, down into the Gulf of Mexico, around the Gulf Coast, past the Florida Keys where it catches the Gulf Stream and goes up the East Coast to the St. Lawrence, where it goes against the current into Lake Ontario, jumps Niagara Falls into Lake Erie and winds up in Maumee Bay where it goes up the Maumee River.
