Why should we imagine that?

Storms have increased in size and severity quite a bit of the past 30 years (sources abound, it’s reasonably easy to google).

And they will continue increasing as the atmosphere continues to heat up.

Just yesterday (literally) they were mentioning on a Swiss radio I was listening to, that the quantity of water falling in the Alps above 2500m was going to double in the comings years, due to high intensity storms created by climate change.

(So not sure why you are getting down-voted..)

The answer to OP—-dams failing?
