There are two types of flooding associated with Hurricanes/typhoons. The first type is the coastal flooding called storm surge. The second type is caused by excesive rainfall, and is called flash flooding. Storm surge is a huge dome of water pushed to the coast by the incoming hurricane/typhoon. This high wave of water can sometimes be added to by the natural high tide. Flash flooding is caused by the rainfall the storm brings with it. Flash flooding happens when water rapidly accumulates on the ground, because the ground is either already too saturated to absorb any more water, or is too dry to absorb it. In either case, the water runs off the land, overflows rivers and streams, sometimes filling valleys, roads, and low lying areas.
The flooding that occurs during a hurricane comes from the ocean. There is more water on land than can be held.
If enough rain is dumped, yes. But hurricanes are not the only causes of floods. In South Asia, the monsoon season brings heavy rain about every day, causing major floods.
Yes. Hurricanes have been known to drop more than a foot of rain on some locations. Such a large amount of water can easily cause flooding.
because if a hurricane is made of WATER and WATER can make floods
Yes. Hurricanes often cause flooding.
tidal waves
When a hurricane comes by, it completely blows everything out of the way and it causes massive flooding. They are very dangerous, and come between May-October.
There are two ways. In coastal areas the winds of a hurricane can drive the ocean onto land in what is called the storm surge. The flooding from the storm surge often enters buildings. Hurricanes also produce torrential rain that often causes flooding.

A Hurricane, because a Hurricane starts on water then off of the water into the land.
No. The most dangerous part of a hurricane is flooding. Being in a basement will only increase your chance of drowning.
Hurricane Sandy did not cause flooding on the Seine. Hurricane Sandy struck North America and some Caribbean islands. The Seine is in Europe, thousands of miles from where HUrricane Sandy ocurred.
