Water naturally goes with the downgrade so when the water can't go into the ground it flows down resulting in what we call a flash flood.
How much rainfall there has already been can effect the amount of water in the ground. If there has been a lot the ground will be saturated, so will have a lot of water in. If there has been very little or none at all the ground will be extremely dry as it will have already used most of the water it has in it.
1/4 of it is absorbed into the ground. The rest of the rainfall sustains the plants and animals living in the forest, and eventually evaporates back into the atmosphere.

The soil in a region is saturated, and rainfall is greater than the need for the moisture.
Wow, that sentence was saturated with rudeness and stupidity.
Yes, and the question is ...

Surplus. The extra water will run over the surface of the land. If this happens on hillsides it can cause landslides or mudslides, especially if there are no trees left to stabilize the soil.
