I've tried to recreate this problem a few times now without luck :(.

Are you missing anything in your description of how it happened?

This sounds like an awesome bug. I hope I can recreate it.

Also, the weather option in the init file should totally have a "default" weather. Snow all the time! Or rain!

I have had this same "problem" in 40d.

I believe you need to retake a failed fortress in order to get it.  Not 100% sure though.  was really cool to see the water streaming down the side of my mountain.

Under 1 FPS was not so cool though

That sounds and looks awesome scenario for the game. Dwarfs need to mine their cave upwards to the mountain top to get away the flooding. Also that brings me an idea of ice age, with ice coming forward from the edge of the map :)

Well, it would certainly stop a siege dead in its tracks.  How long your dwarves could survived sealed in a watertight cave is another matter entirely.

This same thing is happening to me now. I've got a waterfall leading to a y junction river and one arm always freezes in the winter, meaning the other arm floods. I've built a wall around the river so it won't flood anymore but the area that flooded (Now only 1/7 water) hasn't evaporated in 5 YEARS. When I was mining down nearby at the beginning I built a 3x3 roofed building to avoid flooding my mine, but since the first flood, I have had a single 1/7 water tile INSIDE my mine which never evaporates.

Also it's raining forever and I want it to stop  :'(
