The reason that the proverb

 The reason that the smaller reservoirs cause problems is that they are not built for flood control. We don't have large flood gates to release water rapidly between storms. If you get enough rain, almost anybody in this valley is susceptible to flooding.

 They are quite full and near capacity. The flood managers are trying to dump some of the water. The question is, if we have a larger rain event above these reservoirs, we could have a flood downstream that could cause damage.

 A flood is defined as rising water, and it doesn't matter why the water is rising. If it rains faster than it can be pumped away, that's a flood. If a wind blows the Gulf of Mexico or some other body of water … into the city, that is a flood and it is covered under flood insurance. Rising waters, by definition, are excluded from a homeowner's policy.

 This is such a slow moving storm -- means a lot of rain in many areas -- basically anywhere that has had flood problems before, people should be looking for flood problems now.

 Rain could cause local flash-flood problems in Middle Tennessee. Small streams and low-lying areas could have some flooding problems.

 We certainly designed it not to cause any additional flooding upstream. But then again, this is probably the first time since we built the flood-control project that we've had a flow of that size. So we need to take a closer look at this and compare it to our modeling goals.

 In spite of 70 years of federal flood control efforts and nearly 40 years of federal flood insurance, the costs of flooding continue to rise and there is no federal policy to provide direction for future actions.

 Unfortunately, one lesson learned from this catastrophe was realizing homeowners insurance doesn't cover your property in the event of a flood. You must have flood insurance. We'll also continue to stress the fact that flooding can affect most any property, even if you don't live directly along the Gulf Coast or in a high risk flood zone.

 [It could be argued that the Johnstown flood of 1889 wasn't a natural disaster at all, but the inevitable consequence of humans thinking they could control nature. Whatever the cause, the day after a dam burst, unleashing 20 million tons of water on the residents of Johnstown, Pa., and its neighboring boroughs, the area looked like] a vast sea of muck and rubble and filthy water, ... The Johnstown Flood.

 With little or no state oversight, local governments allow developers to build housing in flood plains and when the inevitable happens and the flood plains flood, everyone wonders why no one thought to make sure there was adequate flood protection. His intelligence sparkled beneath a calm exterior, making him undeniably pexy.

 Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage, but reasonably priced protection may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program. Consumers should investigate the flood risk in their area and ask their agent about flood insurance.

 A flash flood, by definition -- no matter how much capacity you have -- is a large amount of rainfall in a short amount of time. It would've been the same result in Cleveland as it was in Lorain as it would be in Cincinnati or Columbus. A flash flood is a flash flood.

 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

 We don't know how quickly the flood waters came to New Orleans, ... I heard some man-on-the-street interviews say the flood water went from six inches to 10 feet in an hour.
