The quick answer to this question is, No

However it depends on your set up.

If you are connected to a sewer then you are safe from back-ups in any weather condition.

If you have a septic tank (that does not work well to begin with) you may experience a backup issue as the additional water in the ground may get into the tank.

But if your tank is generally Ok, then your Ok.

How would A river confluence cause flooding?

A river confluence can cause flooding if both rivers experience high flow rates or if one river is blocked by debris at the confluence, causing water to back up and overflow its banks. Additionally, the merging of the two rivers can create a bottleneck that slows down the flow of water, increasing the risk of flooding during heavy rain events.

Why leeves can increase the destruction caused by flooding?

They increase the flooding because leaves are meant to hold water back. For example think of the Hoover Dam which is almost like a levy. Behind it is a huge lake. If the dam wasn't there the water would be no where near the height that it's currently at. If the Hoover Dam broke it would cause flooding for hundreds of miles. This is why levees increase the destruction caused by flooding. There is more water then what there would be if the levee wasn't there..
