never seen it rain so hard in my life.

You will again. Probably.

As the atmosphere gets warmer it can hold more water. The rains and resulting floods will get bigger and bigger. As they have the last couple of years.

For each 1C increase in temperature, the atmosphere can hold about 7% more water vapor, and for every 1F increase, it can hold approximately 4% more.

Look what Japan is doing to compensate for increased flooding coming in the Future.

Incredible underground flood protection facility in Japan is one ...
Japan's most famous underground reservoir is the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel (MAOUDC), also known as the G-Cans Project, located near Tokyo in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. This massive, $1 billion flood control system protects the Tokyo metropolitan area from flooding by diverting and storing excess rainwater in a cavernous underground tank supported by 59 giant pillars. It can hold 670,000 cubic meters of water, the equivalent of 268 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
