A flash flood is a rapid flooding of low-lying areas: washes, rivers, dry lakes and depressions.
It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, tropical storm, or meltwater from ice or snow flowing over ice sheets or snowfields.
Flash floods may also occur after the collapse of a natural ice or debris dam, or a human structure such as a man-made dam.
Flash Floods are highly localized events of short duration with a very high peak and usually have less than six hours between the occurrence of the rainfall and peak flood.
