Book excerpt: "A flash flood is a flood in which the rapid rise in stream level and the resulting inundation follows the observable causative event by about four hours or less. For rain-caused flash floods meteorology is complex, and limited amounts of real-time data make timely forecasts of exact location very difficult. Lack of reports of flash-flood occurrences adds to the difficulty. Many occur that are never reported to the National Weather Service (NWS)"--Introduction.
