What is a flood? A flood occurs when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. This often happens after very heavy rain when rivers get too full or the ground cannot soak up any more moisture. The extra water pools on the surface, covering streets, fields, and sometimes entering buildings.
Stay away from floodwaters and never try to walk or drive through moving water, even if it looks shallow.
