Subject: The poor relationship between the climatologists, hydrologists and other physical scientists call floods, and those floods that actually cause damage to life or property, has limited what can be reliably said about the causes of observed trends in damaging floods. At the regional level, this study reports a stronger precipitation measures and flood damage, and indicates that different measures of precipitation are most closely related to damage in different regions. This study suggests that climatte plays an important, but by no means determining, role in the growth in damaging floods in the United States in recent decades.
