A flood can occur instantly from ocean waves that wash over land. Or it can begin slowly with a rainfall lasting many hours. Regardless, terrible disasters can occur whenever too much water rushes into or slowly gathers in the wrong place. Rushing water can sweep buildings off foundations. People must quickly leave their homes and possessions to seek safety. Some drown before they can escape. With dramatic images and firsthand survivor stories-plus the latest facts and figures-this book shows you flood disasters up close.
