My town is in the bottom of a valley, but where my house is is slightly up from the bottom, so thankfully I was not too badly affected (though there was A LOT of water coming down the hill behind my house for a few days after). People get it worst in the centre of town because it has a river and a canal, so if both those reach capacity and overflow, that's it, and that's what happened in 2020.
