Well as there has been no observed incidence of 'Flash' flooding

Precisely Col, its nice to have someone agree with me for a change.

I'm not agreeing with you.
You are trying to claim that flash flooding didn't ocurr before AGW.

He is being sarcastic.

He is implying that a statement like "flash flooding frequency will
