flashflood
A flash flood is a sudden, rapid flooding of a usually dry area caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, or dam failure, typically occurring with little warning. It is characterized by its large volume, short duration, and fast flow speed. Such floods are especially dangerous due to their immediate impact and potential to cause severe damage to infrastructure and loss of life.
