What is most likely to have caused the flooding would probably the amount of rain they had over a short period of time (They had a months worth of rain in just a few hours).
Also to do with the fact there are 3 rivers meeting, making the demands of the water flow (when flooded) much too high for the little village. The town is situated where there are steep cliff/valley sides and the ground on top would have been saturated, meaning there was a hell of a lot more surface run off pouring through.
