message: Is the gobi picture really a flash flood? Or is it just runoff from a minor storm?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.227.14.211 (talk • contribs) 18:19, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I think the article needs a brief discussion of the speed at which flash floods can move.  I'm having trouble finding anything solid; the only source I've found so far gives "about 67 mph" as a top speed.  Anything described as "about" that isn't rounded to the nearest 5 mph seems suspect to me, and since it's the only source I've found, I'm not willing to use it in the article.  Does anyone have a good source on this?

replies: text: First of all, there is no meaningful way to generalize the speed of a flash flood.  Even if there were, it would be misleading.  Speed is dependent on the slope of the ground, amount of water, type of debris in the water, ability for water to spread out or be concentrated, type of vegetation, texture of surface, etc., etc.  —EncMstr (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

text: I timed the front of a flash flood down a 20 mile stretch of the Fremont River in Utah, it moved at 12mph. I think it very much depends on the volume of water and the topography of the river, similar floods seen in the smaller streams above the Fremont have clearly been moving much faster at that point.

text: I live in Dublin, OH, and the Dublin Platypus Day Flood of 2011 (yeah, I know you've never heard of it) took 5 days to reach its crest. A flash flood reaches its crest within 6 hour of the triggering event. Also, Flash flooding is not always on/in/near any stream of flowing water. Flash floods can be areal, river, any number of coastal/lakeshore kinds, storm drain backup, levee failure, or other.  --Bowser the Storm Tracker  Chat Me Up 00:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

message: We already have a list article, List of flash floods, which is almost identical with the list of flash floods here. Looking at WP:CSC, my take is that we should keep only the list article (which we could link to with a See also at the top of the impact section) and the list should be restricted to flash floods sufficiently notable that they have, or should have, their own Wikipedia article. Does this sound right? --Kent G. Budge (talk) 00:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
