Sometimes a place can get hit by a flash flood even if it's sunny because it might be raining on higher ground somewhere.Dams are designed to hold a river's water in reserve for when people may need it. If a dam were to break then all the trapped water would rush down the river at the same time and cause a flash flood.Body of the research:The OCD said the flashfloods and landslides hit New Bataan, a first-class municipality in the gold-rush area of Mt.Diwalwal, which is surrounded by mountain ranges that supposedly keep away from typhoons.Diwalwal is categorized by Environment and disaster agencies, however, as one with a high geohazard risk, owing to the activities of small miners. Two days before Pablo struck authorities had issued an appeal to them to stop in order to cut the risk of landslides. At least 20 people went missing after reportedly washed away by the flood.
