We just finished watching Morse from one through thirty-three here in Japan over 8 months. So, for the Remorseful Day, we had a little sayonara party for the inspector, Lewis and strange Strange. Well, the thing that I didn't like about the final string of episodes was the change in Lewis's character. He used to be so easy going and Morse's idiosyncrasies never bothered him at all.
1 Wet or saturated soil. 2  Saturated soil can't absorb rain and water from melting snow. 3  The excess water becomes runoff that rapidly flows into rivers and streams. 4  Unsaturated soil acts like a sponge, absorbing some of the water from rain or snow melt. 5  Saturated soil by itself does not cause flooding. Frozen ground. 2  Frozen soil can not absorb as much water as unfrozen soil. 3  Rain or rapid snow melt atop frozen soil can cause flooding that wouldn't have occurred if the soil were not frozen. 4  Wet or saturated soil. 5  Saturated soil can't absorb rain and water from melting snow.
One cause of floods can be forecast months in advance--snow. Sometimes the ground is too hard or too wet to soak up water. The only place the rain can go is downstream. Usually rainfall of more than one inch in one hour is needed to cause a flash flood. Sometimes a place can get hit by a flash flood even if it's sunny because it might be raining on higher ground somewhere. The floods in Poland this summer weren't flash floods. They were caused by heavy rainfall but the rain was spread out over days. So much rain fell that the rivers couldn't handle all the water.
