FLOODS
A flood is very
dangerous. A flood can knock over a
house in a mater of minutes. A flood is
like a huge pool that can move very quickly through a city or state. You can drown very fast in a flood. There are roaring waves like in the ocean. A wave can hurl itself on top of you and
crush you under
the water.
A flood can knock over trees and can damage dams. Floods can flip cars and they can knock over
buildings. Floods mostly happen in the
Coastal Plains, but a flood can happen anywhere. A flood can be as big as a car
or it can be as big as a two-story building.
You can climb to your roof and be sure you know how to swim. We cannot “stop” natural disasters, but we
can be safe by having a family plan, all most like a family plan incase of a
fire. You can have a spare raft in case
of a flood. Remember a flood is very
dangerous and they can hurt you a lot.
