A flood can happen
when it rains a lot
in a short amount of
time and the rainwater
can’t sink into the ground
fast enough.
Did you know?
Whenever it has been raining heavily, there is s a possibility
possibility
of FLASH FLOODING. But flash flooding can occur even it

if has not been raining where you are.
If it rains upstream, water will rush downstream, causing creeks and rivers to overflow.
A flash flood can happen very quickly. If you live near a creek or river, you need to have a flash flood plan.
Flooding is common in Kentucky, especially in rural areas. A flood can happen when it rains
a lot in a short amount of time and the rainwater can’t sink into the ground fast enough.
