The point is that it is in places that are not used to/prepared for such events that "catastrophes" tend to occur. So, the premise of the game is realistic even if it is not such an extreme event by Winnipeg standards.Coming from a place that gets colder than the surface of Mars, and typically measures it's snow in feet rather than inches, I'll laugh at that. When you live in Winnipeg, which often gets called Winterpeg, little snow squalls are cause for snowmen, if you still make them. I'll never take seriously any "winter" event in a place whose "winters" avg above zero celcius.
I mean, this doesn't happen every year, but this kinda stuff does happen. This was from 1997, a spring blizzard that led to The Flood of The Century when it melted off. One of the few times The Peg was under flood threat since the Floodway was built.
The same would apply to a 7.0 earthquake disaster somewhere, even if a Japanese person could also show off.
