May 12, 2023
People overlook that flash flooding is as dangerous as it is. They don’t see it to be dangerous when compared to a tornado and what the tornado can do.
It produces destructive winds and thunderstorms along with large hail. Although a tornado can cause damage, the deadliest weather phenomena is a flash flood.
In the United States, an average of 110 people are killed by flooding. Already, this year has produced 26 deaths due to the floods. NWS offices put out a flash flood warning when it is already happening or when it is predicted to happen. Vehicles are a major source of deaths for floods, it is extremely important to never attempt to drive through a flood.
