We were lucky, the 40 days and 40 nights had us as one of the early areas to get a bit damp. Wife's home was within about a foot of the high water mark.
We are at the southern end of what we call the 'Murray-Darling Basin', the catchment of the 2 Rivers that gives us an area about the same as the Mississippi/Ohio Rivers in teh US. Our rivers are only about a quarter of the size of the US ones.
All that water ended up in Sth Australia and they really suffered. Australia is so flat that any real flood spreads for many miles and a river can be 50+ miles wide.

I have been wanting to live on a mountain, so as to avoid the oceanic tidal waves, but I then have to worry about landslides from the mountain; I then want to live on the flat land but then have to deal with floods from atmospheric rivers. There's always something to fear, where I am concerned.
