With the recent tragedies local to our area, NRFEMS wants to remind everyone of the concerns of flash flood dangers.
Flash floods
are usually caused by slow-moving thunderstorms or thunderstorms that move over the same area one after the other. Flash floods usually
occur within six hours of heavy rainfall and are usually more life threatening (according to the National Weather Service).
