According to the National Weather Service:
- Most flash floods are caused by slow-moving thunderstorms that repeatedly move over the same area or heavy rains from tropical storms and hurricanes
- These floods can develop within minutes or hours depending on the intensity and duration of the rain, the topography, soil conditions, and ground cover
- Flash floods can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels
- Flash flooding can trigger catastrophic mudslides
