Floods are among the most frequent and costly natural disasters. Conditions that cause floods include heavy or steady rain for several hours or days that saturates the ground. Flash floods occur suddenly due to rapidly rising water along a stream or low­lying area.

 

A flood is the submerging with water of a normally dry area. Floods are caused by many things, including Rainstorms, slow water run-off, Earthquakes, Broken Dams, underwater Volcanic eruptions and Tsunamis, or Hurricanes. When floods, water has the ability to kill and most floods cause a lot of damage because they happen so unexpectedly.
