Here on the island of Great Britain there were a number of floods. Many of them were in the midlands in the center of the island near Stoke in places like Derby.
Well..
In my world the flood is actually a lost opportunity. If too much rain fell to the ground in a short time in my world, there would be a network of aquaducts below bridges that syphon off excess water when rivers flow too high and carry it away to store it below ground. Then when the water level drops the water would flow out again. The rivers in my world would be filled with water wheels that are conseled in stone cylenders that look like logs. The aquaducts in essence would be storing kinetic energy and releasing it later when the water level in the rivers drops.
That is what I see when I see flood water. I see a lot of kinetic energy that is not being exploited by people. Instead, it is gone out of control and damaged parts our towns.
