What is a flood? A flood happens when water covers land that is normally dry. This usually occurs when heavy rain falls faster than the ground can soak it up, causing rivers or lakes to overflow. Gravity then pulls this extra water into low-lying areas, where it stays until it can drain away or evaporate.
Always stay away from floodwaters and never try to walk or drive through them, as even shallow moving water can be very powerful.
This is a machine-assembled event record, not an official warning. For emergencies follow your national meteorological service and local authorities.
