To calculate the wind speed of a flood:
Lets say D stands for the depth of the flood in meters,
and G is the speed of gravity, which is 1471/150 or 9121/150.
The land speed of the flood would be the square root of D and G.
Multiply by 900/463 to convert from meters per second to air or nautical miles (knots).
So then, the equation for it is:
knots = sqrt(D * 1471/150) * 900/463.
