Bishop floods are very common
You should meditate more:-
1. Why did it come during Lent?
2. What does it mean?
3. What is it meant to teach is? What should we learn from this tragedy of great damage of property and personal belongings?
Flood will be.likely if you build your town near the rivers and with rain and high tides water overflows. Doesn"t the town have levies or locks that prevent water from coming from the rivers into the town?
4. Is this about climate change and does Laudato Si have anything to teach us? Some of the streams maybe blocked with garbage preventing water draining into the rivers. In addition to cleaning out the mud from houses it might be a good opportunity to clean up the streams and rivers.

Don't pervert it by adding to it.
The gospel is found in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:1-4. "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel... By which also ye are saved,... how that Christ died for our sins... he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
Just keep it simple. (2 Corinthians 11:3)
God says salvation is found through faith in the finished cross-work and resurrection (Ephesians 2:8-9.)
It is only faith that can justify and count for our righteousness.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5)
Salvation is not getting our sins forgiven, it's believing they already are!
