1993 Perth flood
text:
The 1993 Perth flood was caused by the River Tay, Scotland's longest river, rising to 6.48 m above its normal level, with a flow of 2,268 m3/s (80,100 cu ft/s). It occurred on 17 January 1993, in Perth, Scotland, after heavy snowfall, from blizzards experienced six days earlier, had melted. The flood almost broke the record for the height of the Tay's waters. A flood had occurred three years earlier, in February 1990, but the peak flow of the 1993 event was estimated to have been around 30% high
