From my experience most droughts end with flooding rains. In the early 1950s there was a great demand for flood boats. These were promoted and sold in large numbers. They were about 10ft long, an airtight compartment in each end, shaped like a bath tub, steel construction, two oars plus a sweep oar and it was common to see them on or tied to the veranda of many country homes.

Of course there was no SES in those days. Nor did everyone expect the government to have everything ready for droughts, fires and floods. So get prepared to blame the Government for not being ready for the climate change induced floods that are on the way. You will be able to put the blame on them also for not having built those dams that would mitigate serious flooding and save some of that flood water.

Then is it just atmospheric CO2 and we can fix it quickly by closing down the coal mines. Then no more fires, droughts or floods.

Flashfloods are the worst after drought and fire, especially fire.

The ground is hard baked and anything but drizzle will run straight off for a while..

Hope there isn't to much damage if there is some hard dumping..
