Discussion
Consider the following statements about extreme rainfall.
1. The rate matters more than the total for flash flooding.
2. Soil saturation from earlier rain raises the risk considerably.
3. Only the seasonal total determines whether flooding occurs.
Answer: C
The first two are correct and are the basis of flood warning. The third ignores the timing entirely, which is the single most important factor in a flash flood event. Antecedent conditions modify the threshold considerably.
