It is interesting that many of the places flooded are not low-
lying or near the Severn, eg Moreton-in-Marsh, about 400ft, and parts
of Cheltenham. The floods were not due simply to the Severn getting
too big for its boots but ti the tremendous amounts of rain which
actually fell on or near the flooded places.

Precisely. Almost every significant depression in the area accumulated a
lot of water.
