Floods are both very common and very dangerous. They can occur because of short or prolonged periods of rain, tropical storms and hurricanes or dam breaches. It is important to take precautions before a flood happens. Some floods can develop slowly while flash floods can develop in just a few minutes. A flood WATCH means flooding is possible. A flood WARNING means flooding is occurring or will occur soon (and evacuations may be necessary). A flash flood WATCH means flash flooding may be possible. A flash flood WARNING means flash flooding is occurring; seek higher ground.
