God. I presume you mean Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, UK. The Rivers Severn and Avon meet at Tewkesbury, and the whole area is subject to floods every Winter, in which a few houses in Tewkesbury and elsewhere get flooded. The flood of July 2007 was in Summer, but followed a huge burst of rain in the upper Severn, which you could call an Act of God, others might say that it is just one manifestation of increasingly stormy weather patterns due to global warming. That flood of 2007 was execptionally high, thankfully the district seldom floods so high.

Because of the global warming weathers were changing and this caused storms and a burst of rain drop into the river severn. That is why Tewksbury had a flood in 2007.

We can say that if the planet does warm as some predict, that additional flooding of some low areas could occur.
Why did so few people die in tewskbury floods June 2007?
Reasonable warning (at least some hours) of the likely flood gave the people of Tewkesbury time to prepare and move or sandbag as necessary, though many homes were flooded, and some people still haven't been able to move back into their homes because of damp problems. The two people in Tewkesbury died actually after the flood had somewhat subsided. They were a father and son, stalwarts of the local football club, who were trying to pump out the cellar of the club with a petrol-driven pump. They were overcome by fumes from the faulty pump. (Answer by a resident of Gloucester, near Tewkesbury)

What are the effect of the tewkesbury in 2007?
Because the town is situated near a couple of major bodies of water (where the Avon and Severn meet), it floods often. From wikipedia The area around Tewkesbury is frequently affected by flooding. In general such flooding causes little damage to property as the town is surrounded by large areas of floodplain which restrict urban development and the ability for the town to spread. However, extreme flooding events have caused damage to property and affected transport links, the most significant events occurring in 1947,[4] 1960[5] and 2007. 4. ^ The great floods of 1947, The Guardian July 25th 2007 5.
