What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is normally dry. This often occurs when heavy rain falls faster than the ground can soak it up or when rivers rise over their banks. In tropical areas, intense storms or long periods of rain are the most common causes of flooding.
Never walk or drive through moving water, as even shallow currents can be surprisingly strong and hide dangerous objects or deep holes.
