Rubbish, the ME is supposed to improve weather and stop natural disasters before they happen. Don't forget nature is intelligent: the all seeing eye will know if flood defences are inadequate and adjust things accordingly (please don't think I'm bening facetious, I've heard this and worse from TMers). It's the most crap thing about the TMO, (that and the idea they bought down the Berlin wall). Funny thing is I got an e-mail from my national office saying we should rejoice as the USofA is now invincible. The flood water should magically disappear now.
