Well it's be raining a lot in the area because of the hurricanes. The flooding is probably just due to increased river output which can come from quite a distance if the river connects to a lot of other smaller rivers.
There is also a lot of talk about a global natural shift or something like that. We have been having more and more natural disasters lately around the world, hurricane, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and eruptions have all increased.
Personally I think this sort of stuff is cyclical like ice ages. There are calm times and then like now their are very active times. I have no scientific reasoning for this, just gut feeling. It's possible that this could all be from global warming but it's possible it's 'normal' and humans just haven't been around to notice it before (or at least record it).
