The following are a few more little-known floods facts:

  • Floods kill an average of 140 people per year in the U.S., making flooding the deadliest natural disaster.
  • More than half of all fatalities during floods are auto related, often the result of drivers misjudging the depth of water on a road and being swept away in a swiftly moving current.
  • The principle causes of floods in the eastern United States are hurricanes and storms.
