Perhaps the single best collection of incredible flood video I have seen is this one from the BBC - although there are some other good examples around:
All of the climate scientists I have seen commenting on it have been very reasonable - pointing out that they have yet to do the "attribution to climate change" calculation, but they have been warning for decades that the additional water in the warming atmosphere (and the additional heat when its not raining) means both more intense rainfall when it does rain, plus more intense (and rapid, I think) drought.
Of course, climate change denialists can still be readily found to say "They never predicted this. And what is it - more flood or more droughts - you can't have both."
