Excessive rain soon causes streams and rivers to fill up and overflow. This causes flooding if the excess water is impeded in anyway and can't drain away naturally. Debris (tree branches, is one example) washed downstream, if massed at a bridge, will cause the water to backup, and may even cause the bridge to collapse.
