A quick flood, often referred to as flash flooding, typically occurs when intense rainfall overwhelms the drainage capacity of an area in a short period. This can happen due to sudden storms, rapid snowmelt, or dam failures, leading to the rapid accumulation of water in rivers, streams, and urban areas. Factors like steep terrain, urbanization, and soil saturation can exacerbate the situation, causing water to flow swiftly and dangerously. Flash floods can develop within minutes, posing significant risks to life and property.
