Don't underestimate the power of water! From July 24 to 26, portions of the United States (US), including the South, Gulf Coast, and East Coast, will experience excessive rainfall, increasing the chances of a flash flood. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), it only takes six inches of moving water to sweep an adult off of their feet and 12 inches to carry a small car. Excessive rainfall, failure of dams, and failure of levees may lead to flash flooding that can produce enough power to rapidly displace people and objects. Maximizing preparation for flooding may reduce potential risks and is crucial for safety of persons, pets, and property.
