Been there. Had my house flooded. It was only 6inches. Thanks Tropical Storm Allison. I had a mess. I can't imagine how much damage a few feet can cause. Worst thing is, I am sure, very very few had flood insurance. I didn't, so it was all on me. Took me almost a year to get it all fixed back. Needless to say, $300 a year for insurance is cheap. So, lesson learned. Oh I was not in a flood zone. However, a nice farmer, across the road, had changed his drainage system causing a huge field not to drain properly. My legal team (thats a joke) said I was out of luck in holding him accountable. So there you are. Or, there I was.
The paradigm of a '1000 year Rain' will have to be changed to a rain much more frequent as Climate Change takes root. People can argue all day long about the weather, the weather will not listen to what our species has to say.
A lot of times your house will flood with terrible damage yet not qualify for flood insurance pay out. I believe it has to be higher than foundation of house.Been there. Had my house flooded.

Yes, and it's likely we ain't seen nuthin' yet. We're not in climate change at this point; the changes have been occurring gradually over the last century; now we're in climate chaos. Very likely the real fun is yet to come.

The Industrial Revolution is over 200 years old which was also the beginning use of coal and petroleum. Oil was discovered around the late 1850's in Pennsylvania. Climate Change is a new weather change that has its cause in our species thinking it can control nature. This is a good example of Hubris.
Coal was used in China 3000 years ago. It wasn't until the mid 1750 that coal was commercially mined in Virginia. Just looked that up on the Coal and Fossil fuel website.
Attempting the associate any weather change with fossil fuel use is not sound. We've had volcanic activity that has blocked UV light from heating the earth.
Our recorded history sucks for accuracy and for a means to tie fossil fuels with either global heating or cooling.

We are in an Interglacial,,,, meaning between glaciations
(the last one was this morning in geologic time)
... there have been many glacial periods & then warnings,....rinse repeat
Right outside my backdoor is a heavily glaciated region,, hell all the names of stuff are glacial
add: I did a presentation on "Global Warming" (before it was called climate change) at University Of Wisconsin
nearly 25 years ago in one of my science courses

sidecross, you misunderstood me..
We need to reforest
Develop more renewable energy
Expand nuclear power & limit fossil burning
