What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. This often occurs after heavy rain when rivers burst their banks or the ground can no longer soak up moisture. The water collects and spreads across streets or fields until it finally has a chance to drain away.
If you see water covering a road, never try to walk or drive through it; instead, turn around and find a safer path.
