I was in Houston, Texas in July/August 1987 when there were heavy flash floods after thunderstorms in the area. I remember watching the news item on television about the flash flood on the Guadeloupe River. There are lots of popular summer camps in the area in question, often run by Christian organisations, and many children attend these camps during the summer months. A driver attempted to drive his bus, filled with children, across a partly submereged bridge over the River Guadeloupe, which was in full flood. The bus was swept away half way across. The story was big news in the Houston/San Antonio area at the time. Anne West

What is Internal Floating roof tank?

Floating roof tanks are broadly divided into external floating roof tanks (usually called as floating roof tanks:FR Tanks) and internal floating roof types(IFR Tanks). IFR tanks are used for liquids with low flash-points(e.g. ATF, MS. gasolene, ethanol). These tanks are nothing but cone roof tanks with a floating roof inside which travels up and down along with the liquid level. This floating roof traps the vapor from low flash-point fuels. Floating roofs are supported with legs on which they rest. FR tanks do not have a fixed roof (it is open in the top) and has a floating roof only. Medium flash point liquids such as naphtha, kerosene, diesel, crude oil etc. are stored in these tanks. sealions

What is the nature of materials causing turbidity in (a) River water during flash flood?

Turbidity in river water during flash floods is mainly caused by sediment erosion and resuspension. As the rushing water carries debris, silt, and soil into the river, these particles remain suspended in the water column, causing it to appear cloudy and murky. Additionally, organic matter, pollutants, and other suspended solids can also contribute to turbidity levels during flash floods.


What is flash memory-?

Computing memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply i.e. it is non-volatile memory. A computer chip with a read-only memory that retains its data when the power is turned off and that can be electronically erased and reprogrammed without being removed from the circuit board, often used in fax machines. Flash memory stores computer data in a solid state format (vs. magnetic). Answer: Flash memory is a form of EAPROM (Electrically Alterable Programmable Read-Only Memory).Each bit of data in a flash memory device is stored in a transistor called a floating gate. The floating gate can only be accessed though another transistor, the control gate.The process the control gate uses to access the floating gate is a field emission phenomenon known as Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. Tunneling allows voltage to flow from the control gate to the floating gate through the dielectric layer of oxide which separates them.

How deep was the water at boscastle flash floods in 2004?

During the Boscastle flash floods in August 2004, water levels reached as high as 10 feet (approximately 3 meters) in some areas. The intense rainfall caused the River Valency and River Jordan to overflow, leading to significant flooding in the village. The flash floods resulted in extensive damage to properties and infrastructure, but fortunately, there were no fatalities.
