Floods

 Floods

Floods can cause damage to towns, cities, land, and lots of other things too. But also they leave a lot of mess, and also they can be very strong.

What a flood is caused by

A flood is caused by rivers or the ocean overflowing from rain or from ice melting. Floods are big and strong, it is from the sea or from a river or anywhere else that includes water. Floods can be very dangerous if you were in the water you could be cut from broken pieces of buildings or you might be in a car and you picked up and you can´t get out and water comes in and it might drown you.

In a flood, you need to act quickly so you can get to a high area or far away from the flood.  Some people put them in an area that is safe away from the flood. Make sure you get food so you don't starve and you need water to stay hydrated.

The biggest flood was in Johnstown it was so massive it flowed down from the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River is 2,350 miles.  Floods can leave a mess like cars in the water and boats on land, also smashed windows and fallen over trees.

In conclusion, floods are very big and dangerous and people should be ready for it and also so you could survive not like hundreds of people who died in a flood.
