Very few problems this Summer as the rain mainly fell much further South and East. There was some random flash flooding last year due to a 3hr Thunderstorm but the rivers didn't flood, could have happened anywhere.

"not on top of a hill"
That's what you'd think. Not this thunderstorm, it was no respecter of gravity or drainage and just filled up any available hole i.e. back doors, cellars, yards, velux windows (this was a hot day!) etc. Some houses on top of hills did get flood damage.
2.25 inches of rain in 3 hours 1.25 inches in 15 minutes in the middle somewhere. Classic flash flooding, nothing whatsoever to do with fluvial processes or storm hydrographs
