Flash flooding can happen anywhere, not just near riverways or bodies of water. #FlashFlooding

[00:00:00]Nick, factor fiction. Flash flooding only occurs near water sources like rivers, lakes, and dams.

[00:00:05]>> Now, flash flooding can occur towards those water sources, but that entire question is actually false. Uh flash flooding can happen anywhere. Typically, you see that the most in low-lying areas. Uh that is where water can accumulate really fast. Also, dry water beds or culverts, that happens a lot.

[00:00:24]You'll see that in cities, too, where there's too much concrete uh and storm drains if they're clogged or whatnot.

[00:00:31]That's when you can get some of that flash flooding on roads, too. So, uh as a whole, you just whenever we have really heavy rain, just make sure to be ready. And if you do see standing water, always remember, turn around, don't drown.
