Last week I talked about hurricane
preparedness. This week I want to talk
about flash floods. When most people
think of flash floods, they picture a torrent of whit water roaring down a
canyon carrying trees and debris in a torrent.
Anyone who was born before 1970 remembers the flash flood that Mount St.
Helen produced when it erupted on March 27, 1980. While most people will never have to deal
with a flood of such intensity, they do happen even in a state as flat as
Florida. To keep you from doing
something foolish, I thought I’d take the time to tell you how to deal with
them.
