What is a flash flood?
A flood occurs when water overruns land that's normally dry, which can happen in many ways.
Excessive rain, a ruptured dam or levee, rapidly melting snow or ice, or even an unfortunately placed beaver dam can overwhelm a river, spreading over the adjacent land, called a floodplain. Coastal flooding occurs when a large storm or tsunami causes the sea to surge inland.
