The most common locations that experience flooding are arguably river deltas. There are generally large, flat areas at the mouth of rivers, and in many cases, particularly with the large rivers, they are large, flat and low. That means when the river runs high, the delta is inundated. But there are also a number of low areas near rivers along their lengths that are designated flood plains because the river runs over them during wet seasons.

Will the earth flood in the future?
There is a risk of flooding on Earth in the future due to factors like climate change and rising sea levels, but it is difficult to predict exactly when or where flooding may occur. It is important for communities to prepare and adapt to potential flooding risks.
What is localised flooding?
"Localized" -- Flooding that will occur in smaller areas, just certain local places that usually flood within a fairly limited area. Such as "localized flooding may occur in parts of the state's southeast counties if the rain continues, but no serious widespread flooding will occur in any large areas of the state." The opposite is widespread or regional flooding which covers more area(s) than local.
Why does flood come?
Floods can occur due to heavy rainfall, rising river waters, snowmelt, storm surges, or dam failures. When the amount of water exceeds the land's capacity to absorb it or when natural or man-made obstructions occur, flooding can happen. Climate change may also contribute to more frequent and severe flooding events.
What type of erosion is most likely to occur during flooding?
soil erosion
If snow falls instead of rain Will it cause a flood more quickly?
No, in fact it is quite the opposite. If snow falls and remains on the ground, it helps to stagger the runoff into rivers so that flooding is less likely to occur. Though if a lot of rain ends up falling onto a snowpack, the flooding potential is then amplified.

Depends on which LA you mean. Floods and tornadoes are not uncommon in Louisiana. Several large rivers, including the Mississippi, run through Lousiana and can produce flooding.

Flooding is unlikely to occur in Los Angeles, but the city has been hit by a few weak tornadoes.
