Humans settle along the flood plaines and farm the rich soil found there despite the risk of flooding. Floods, especially flash floods, kill more people each year than hurricanes or tornadoes.
Most people die in their vehicles or while trying to flee from vehicles stalled in rising water.
Flood waters are very dangerous due to the force that water delivers. Fresh water moving at 4 mph or a brisk walking pace exerts a force of about 66 pounds on each square foot. Fresh water moving twice the speed or 8 mph will have four times the force. In a concluding paragraph describe which flood you felt was the worst and why. Images from satellites can be used to predict future flood locations, the extent of flood damage, the next area of flooding, and estimations of physical damage and financial loss.
