Just came across this book about flood's in Ohio valley, they seem pretty horrendous i wonder why they happened there must have been some unusual weather patterns for this to have occurred 2 yrs in a row although it happened 61yrs before as well. Have they done any mitigation work the lessen the affect's if it happens again.      archive.org/stream/greatfloodohiova00vanciala#page/n9/mode/2up

Local to me, Brisbane River:



It's worse than nowhere near as bad as we thought.

Ratty: I thought the news was full of how terrible the floods have been that have been caused by AGW in the last 10 years. Wowsa, didn't anyone do any research? (Don't answer that one as the answer is obvious).

Came across this on youtube. Jimmy Buffet does a pretty good cover as well. There is some great footage of the floods in 1927. Well worth the time if you like weather history.
