Nothing I can say would sway you so i'll discontinue after this - I suspect
you'd be looking for other causes as the water lapped your toes.

AFAIK, those two chains are not and the effect of rising water and increased
storm activity is having a serious effect.
Does this paper mention these two nations? Have you purchased it?
