Summary	0013452: Embarking at locations that have floating features that crash down
Description	Every so often, I will Embark and the location will have free-floating lakes or islands that violently crash down when unpaused. This has happened across multiple updates on the Steam release but I never managed to notice before unpausing until today, when I Embarked to find a series of 1 tile columns of water at ground level, that lead up to a massive floating lake, large enough to flood ground level and drown all but 1 dwarf when I unpaused, results may vary when others do so.
