He drove out earlier to see
The river high, near flooding;
It’s rained for days, and life has been
A constant, aching thudding
He knows the spring will come one day,
The flowers will be blooming;
But he feels something more is wrong
That some disaster’s looming
The rain, it messes with his head,
Distorting all his thinking:
As floodwaters come o’er the banks
And have his spirit
Sinking

I am very lucky. Where I live in England is only 100 yards from the sea ~ and all waters eventually empty into the sea. Rain and wind ~ wnd and rain,but no flooding.
Lots of issues with this around at the moment. Be safe. Best wishes to you, and Happy New year.
Thank you. Mine to you as well, throughout the year.
