Sudden flood is caused by sudden continuous heavy rain, and rain is outside of human control(in general).
If that area everyday or every month or every year flood, then you can question about the "incapabilities of the drainage system" and find someone to be liable. But for such unforeseeable flooding, can't really blame anyone.. unless there is evident that the drainage system is supposingly capable of handling it but "someone" cause malfunctioning of the drainage system. then maybe someone could be liable.

sorry ah... i thought flood is a result of heavy rain no? so how can it be an act of God? and why flooding occurs probably it's due to the incapabilities of the drainage system to handle such high volume of water no? sorry again... i want to just clarify whether flooding is considered an act of God.
