Flood

Flooding occurs any time of year. Excessive rainfall is most often causes flooding, but why?

The Meriam-Webster Dictionary states that the definition of the word “flood” is “a rising and overflowing of a body of water especially onto normally dry land.” Floods happen when the ground cannot absorb the amount of rainwater. If it continues to rise higher, the water can flood homes, buildings and other structures.
