We are told rain/flooding getting worse. However when very young just remember Hove Lagoon flooding and most of beech huts were floating in lagoon. Nothing like this since Do any older posters remember this

Can’t remember that - they got blown over the promenade wall and into the lagoon?
Hove lagoon had been drained when I went past on Friday.

The morning after the hurricane in 1987 there were two beach huts in Wish Park or what was left of them anyway...

Yes, there would have been isolated severe incidents of flooding before, just as there are historic accounts of ice-skating on the Thames and indeed Salt Daisy Lake.

However, the regularity of flooding across the globe and the extent to which it is causing displacement, has increased dramatically since human industrial activity began.

As a fictional character, Noah transcends time.

He and his fictional flood have as much relevance as Alice flooding the hallway with her tears.

I remember flounder fishing in Hove Lagoon, early 70's and pulling out a piece of wood from a beach hut
