This is similar to the massive floods in Europe the last few years
And my area in Maine flooded last year after 5 inches of rain and snow melt. Only two deaths when a car was swept down river. My fiance was in the hospital actually quarantined for TB. Which he didn't have . Basement flooded, rivers overflowing. Scary and powerful. Also China had floods. In Cali my mother had fire North and South of her. And one town burnt to the ground.
