The statement "Fast riverine floods include flash floods from intense thunderstorms" is true. The two variables that contribute to flash flooding are rainfall intensity and duration. The greater the intensity and duration of the rainfall is, the greater is the tendency to have flash floods. It can roll boulders, uproot a tree, destroy communities. It can eve can reach 30 feet or more. It can also trigger mud slides which is very dangerous.
