What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is normally dry. This usually occurs when heavy rain falls faster than the ground can soak it up or when rivers rise over their banks. Gravity pulls the extra water toward low-lying areas, where it can gather in streets, fields, or homes.
Stay away from floodwaters and never try to walk or drive through moving water, as even shallow currents can be surprisingly powerful.
