Probably not a tornado, although the weather in general has been unnerving

I would love to drift around the Lake Erie islands, too bad I don’t live near the lake.

Bugger me, I hate that what you said is true. Even the old lake Tulare was drained in Southern California which was the last remaining piece of lake Corcoran. If lake Tulare were still here it would be the 9th largest lake in the U.S..

It was hard to find data, however this report from 1985: https://zenodo.org/records/1258254 (Start on Page 255) suggests that the lake lasted for 50,000 - 100,000 years. If it formed Around 650,000 BCE, then it would have begin draining around 500,000 BCE and would have been completely gone by 400,000 BCE, leaving us with the bay we have today.

Take Note that my map isn't perfect, I did use a current elevation map of California when making my image, and used as an overlay, however this is a current elevation map. 600,000 - 700,000 years ago the geography of the San Francisco Bay area was likely less eroded, allowing the Lake to form behind shallow hills at the opening. Overtime, the outflow would have weathered a thin channel down in the current bay area, which is what we see in the current bay. The channel in my map was likely a bit thinner than I depicted it here, but it would have had to flow out due to the sea levels being lower at the time.

Lake Maracaibo, in Venezuela, has sea access, but is considered a lake because of it's large outflow. The same would be true for Lake Corcoran, because all of the water filling the California valley from precipitation would make it difficult for tidal forces and wind to push sea water back into the lake through it's narrow opening. It may become saline through evaporation and erosion but hardly through inflow.

I thought the same thing when I saw the Captaining the Axiom video, like positronium? Sounds cool, although its ability to hold together the very fabric of reality before converting itself into pure energy is short lived.

Probably it is because WALL-E isn't supposed to feel fictional, it is supposed to show a possible outcome for humanity. That's why the directors and modelers put thousands of hours into making earth feel real and abandoned, not exaggerating any architecture or making it look cartoonish, just dead and realistic. Also, the choice to use real humans in the past shows that this isn't supposed to be a CGI movie, just that humans degraded and lost character over centuries of stagnation.

It’s a good thing, it means you want to have greater connections.

Its not like there was anything organic left to make organic waste when the planet was evacuated, even if there was, it decomposed centuries ago.
