Floods are the most common and widespread of all weather-related
natural disasters. Most communities in the United States have experienced
flooding after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, or winter snow thaws.
Floods have enough power to change the course of rivers and bury houses
in mud. And flash floods are the most dangerous kind of floods, because
they combine the destructive power of a flood with incredible speed and
unpredictability. Learn more about the force of flash floods when you read
