A slow-onset flood lasts for a long period of time, weeks, even months. A rapid-onset flood lasts for a shorter period, lasting only a couple of days, but it can cause much more damage. A flash flood can happen within minutes or hours after heavy rain. This causes the most damage to farmers and communities.
