Data Notes

Flash flood: A rapid and extreme flow of high water into a normally dry area, or a rapid water level rise in a stream or creek above a predetermined flood level, beginning within six hours of the causative event (e.g. intense rainfall, dam failure, ice jam). However, the actual time threshold may vary in different parts of the country. Ongoing flooding can intensify to flash flooding in cases where intense rainfall results in a rapid surge of rising flood waters. [4] Flood: Any high flow, overflow, or inundation by water which causes or threatens damage. [4][[br]] [[br]] ---- 4. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, National Weather Service (2009).
