What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is normally dry. This usually occurs after heavy rain or when rivers can no longer hold all the water flowing through them. As the ground becomes saturated and cannot soak up more moisture, the extra water spreads across streets and fields.
Never try to walk or drive through moving water, as even shallow currents can be surprisingly strong and dangerous.
