Tsunamis are usually preceded by an earthquake, abnormal sea behavior like a rapid rise or fall in water level, or a loud roar from the ocean. Other signs may include animals behaving strangely or moving towards higher ground.

Answer 4

floods are the number one cause of deaths related to floods in the United States. Thunderstorms, rising water and large runoff are some of the warning signals that individuals can use to stay alert to the danger. It is imperative to keep track of the weather in areas that are prone to flooding, such as low-lying areas near streams and rivers.

Thunderstorms

· A thunderstorm can move rapidly, dropping a large amount of rain in a short time. Thunderstorms can also be associated with a slow-moving system that rains for longer periods. If you are out hiking and are near a river or stream, you need to be watchful for quickly changing conditions. A stormy sky can be a warning sign that floods will occur in low lying areas. The immense rainfall can cause a small stream to swell quickly, which produces a flash flood. In this type of weather, stay clear of streams, creeks and low-lying areas. Streams and Creeks Rising· Another warning sign of a flood is seen when a creek or stream begins to rise quickly. The water will also turn muddy, and you may hear a "roaring" noise from upstream. This means that a flash flood is occurring, and water is moving rapidly downstream. You should seek higher ground quickly as far away from the stream as possible. Runoff· Runoff occurs after storms and when rain falls after a snow melt. Greater amounts of water run down into creeks, rivers and streams from higher areas. The runoff can quickly swell creeks and streams to dangerous levels. It is imperative to be aware of this situation if you will be around low-lying areas or bodies of water. Consecutive Storms· If there is a series of consecutive storms for a period of hours or over several days, you have a definite signal that a flood will occur. The saturated ground and the swelling of rivers and streams creates a dangerous situation. A flood can take many hours to form, so be careful during this period if outside and near a stream.
