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.
Flooding caused by heavy rainfall is the hazard associated with a hurricane that generally causes the most deaths in inland areas. Overflowing rivers, flash floods, and landslides can be particularly dangerous as a result of excessive rainfall from a hurricane.
A hurricane brings strong winds, heavy rainfall, and potentially destructive storm surges. These conditions can lead to flooding, property damage, and disruption of utilities and transportation systems. It is important to take necessary precautions to stay safe during a hurricane.
During a hurricane, it rains heavily due to the intense convection of warm, moist air rising rapidly and condensing into clouds. This process generates strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding and other hazards.
Flooding caused by a hurricane is considered a density-independent factor. The severity and impact of flooding is primarily determined by the characteristics of the hurricane (e.g., wind speed, rainfall intensity) rather than the population density of the affected area.
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 causes coastal flooding. None of the other are directly related to flooding at all.
flooding
Oh, i know the answer to this one. its called hurricane irene. hope this helped.
Generally, a basement can be a safe area during a hurricane because it is underground and provides good protection from high winds. However, flooding can be a concern in some areas, so it's important to ensure your basement is properly waterproofed and have an evacuation plan in case of flooding.
A Hurricane, because a Hurricane starts on water then off of the water into the land.
Yes, the Raritan River did experience significant flooding during Hurricane Irene in 2011. The storm caused the river to overflow its banks, leading to widespread flooding in areas along its path in New Jersey.
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.

the reason for the cause of rural flooding in india is because of heavy rainfall,a hurricane and a drought.

There was rain, flooding and wind speeds up to 175mph
Yes. Flooding is the biggest danger in a hurricane.
