Do floods have epicentres? I suppose the ones that come out of the
ground like fountains do.
"The epicenter or epicentre (ancient Greek: ??????????) is the point on the
Earth's surface that is directly above the point where an earthquake or
other underground explosion originates. The epicenter is directly above the
hypocenter, the actual location of the energy release inside the earth."
So even a flood from underground can't really have an epicentre.
