Flash flood is an extreme type of flood that is categorized within the fast kinds of riverine floods. The âflashâ attached to the term refers to its rapid effect. This type of flood is found to be the result of the convective moisture from the air or waters, like rain and snow that fall from the sky.
Flash floods are the number one weather-related killer in the United States â most flood fatalities happen because people try to drive through deadly waters rather than avoid them. Water's powerful force can easily overtake vehicles caught in a flood. Follow these tips to stay safe in your car during a flood. Don't ignore them by driving past them. The average automobile can be swept off the road in 12 inches of moving water, and roads covered by water are prone to collapse. Attempting to drive through water also may stall your engine, with the potential to cause irreparable damage if you try to restart the engine.
