As mentioned, the Great Flood was devastating for many of the inhabitants of Calico City and among them was the very owner of Sweet Shoppe, Sweetheart and the young, powerful tom of the Red Hawks, Boomer. But, more about them in another Spotlight.

Whenever there is a threat of a tsunami or other deadly sea event, there is a lookout that signals the townsfolk of the imminent danger. However, as the Great Flood was on its way to the Isles of Catriona, the lookout had been overwhelmed with exhaustion and had fallen asleep. With the lookout unconscious, there was no one watching the sea, not even the fishermen, because the wave had rushed toward the town during its midday respite and the they had all went to rest. The city was completely unprepared to escape and would have completely fallen to the mercy of the onslaught, if not for the youngest Prince of Calico, Palm.

A rider was dispatched from the palace and raced down to the city, climbed the tower and sounded the alarm. Thanks to the prince, the Great Flood, although tragic, would have been even more disastrous.
