WARNING SIGNS
You can check your local weather channel for updates if there have been floods in recent areas or if there are extensive raining and that can be a sign of flooding. Another sign is that if the man-hole in each of your streets are getting overflowed or water is coming out of it.
There are two types of alerts for flash floods which are issued by the National Weather Service. One is a flash flood watch, which means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding, and the other is a flash flood warning, meaning that a flash flood is occurring or one will occur imminently and is usually issued when there are strong weather radar echoes for an area that is prone to flash flooding. Flash floods can also occur because of a dam or levee failure, or because of a sudden release of water held by an ice jam.
