What caused the flood in tewkesbury?
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.

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.
