Flash Floods Compilation

Flash floods are one of nature's ways of shaping the earth. This beautiful compilation features flash floods put together over the course of a few years. Notice how the water seems thick and foamy. This is because as the water travels down the slopes, it carries along with it minerals and various debris picked up from the earth. Flash floods are caused by intense rains associated with thunderstorms. They can also happen when ice dams collapse, or even man-made dams. Flash floods occur because the land the water falls on becomes too saturated with water and the excess water cannot be absorbed anymore. The dangers of flash floods are largely underestimated by people. Keep in mind that such floods can happen suddenly, without notice. Even when in a vehicle, a flash flood is never safe. In dry areas, whenever there's a thunderstorm there's likely to be a flash flood.
