A number of things occur simultaneously. First, the conditions of the terrain must be very dry between the area where the water forms and the area which will be flooded. Secondly, a thunderstorm or major rain event occurs in a short period of time producing more water than can be absorbed by the dry soil. The water just rolls off instead of soaking in. Like a water drop on a leaf. It is all then channelled into the drainage basin which may be overcome by the great waters ending in a flash flood.
