Flash floods: A post-storm threat
Flash floods remain a significant threat even after a storm has passed, as the remnants of these weather systems can unleash torrential rainfall over saturated or already flooded areas. The danger arises from the rapid accumulation of water, which can overwhelm drainage systems and cause rivers and streams to overflow their banks. Residents in affected regions should stay vigilant and monitor weather updates from reliable sources.
