Today I fear your humorous irony is a True Prediction!
We're got some new fast-growing weeds I've never seen before. Some are really tall, sort of bamboo-ish. Scary SOBs they are...
BAMBOO? if it is real bamboo ... you may wish to keep it!?
-——bamboo can be quite nice in a garden
we have kept SOME genuine weeds.. the ones with nice flowers that don’t do any real harm....why not?
smile smile
otherwise, weeds are best removed at the roots if you can...
or if you can’t then just cut them back as far as possible
(there’s a lot of concern, with mixed claims pro and con, about Roundup weed killer...maybe causing cancers...so we avoid it right now but it does work on most growing things so if you use any, aim only at the weed you want to eradicate and then wait a couple days for action)
have fun!
Best,

I'm in PA and I have bamboo on the property. It's pretty pushy stuff, grows and spreads very fast.
My yard's on a terraced hill, with a garden laid out by a horticulturalist who found it wild and built his house and business here, so the drainage is what it should be. My neighbor down the road is not so lucky with his part of the hillside.
Get a landscaper who knows what he's doing. And get him soon because dead vegetation is going to make things worse. Healthy plants help absorb that water (up to a point).
