So would an asteroid hitting the Earth, or a nuclear war. Yes, I think the likelihood of the 3 gorges dam collapsing this year is negligible, and I think you're getting hyped up over nothing. I'm happy to take bets on this.

Cool! What's a good end date? Say end of August? I understand that's when flood season ends. I'm happy to be sloppy about conditions on my side as the absolute cost from ambiguity is low, but please feel free to follow up with something more rigorous if you like :)
