What's more current than the weather?

Flooding also gets worse as the surrounding areas are developed, unless there are very strict laws about the percentage of "impervious cover" (i.e. non-rain-absorbing concrete) that's allowed to be built over a given space of land. 8 inches of rain 20 years ago might not have had the same effect as 8 inches of rain today.

I north New Jersey I ran into road after road with roadblocks because of flooding. Interesting that most flooding was at intersections.
