Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour
onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy
rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by
flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If,
however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are
low, a rivermay overflow and flood adjacent lowlands.
In many parts of the world, floods are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or
typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a
flood occurs, the destruction of the surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns
are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad tracks and
buckles are blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the
pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side,
they formed a human chain from the fire to a nearby well or river. They passed buckets of
water from hand to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a
small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often
destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.
