Can they predict this stuff or is it just something that happens ( kind of like Tornados)... ya know hey it's been raining a lot it might happen so be prepared or can they say it will be heavy flooding during these 2 weeks, pack up and get out?

Yes there is a science to predictions. There will be monitoring stations located throughout the entire basins that will send data. This data will allow for accurate predictions for flow averages, peaks and any expected pulses.
