What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. This often occurs when heavy rain falls faster than the ground can soak it up or when rivers rise over their banks. In dry areas, even a small amount of rain can quickly turn into flowing water.
Always move to higher ground if water rises, and never try to walk or drive through moving floodwater, even if it looks shallow.
