    Judging by the geography, it looks like you have a hurricane over mountains, so the water will naturally pool in the small valleys below, which contain towns. You can simulate this on a small scale in your backyard garden. The situation seemed unavoidable without an extensive storm drain network built for a 100+ year event, which is impractical to build for smaller tier cities in America that don't experience frequent flooding. If weather patterns are changing rapidly, its going to be a big problem.
