Wine (from Latin vinum) is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes. These grapes are generally Vitis vinifera, or a hybrid with Vitis labrusca or Vitis rupestris. Grapes are fermented without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, water, or other nutrients.
A flash flood warning (SAME code: FFW) is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring in the warned area. A flash flood is a sudden, violent flood after a heavy rain, or occasionally after a dam break. Rainfall intensity and duration, topography, soil conditions, and ground cover contribute to flash flooding. Most flash floods occur when there is a heavy amount of precipitation falling in an area and that water is then channeled through streams or narrow gullies. Flash floods may take minutes or hours to develop. It is possible to experience a flash flood without witnessing any rain.
1 Dry soil can produce flooding when very intense rainfall occurs. 2  In the West, most canyons, small streams and dry arroyos are not easily recognizable as a source of danger. 3  A wall of water 10-15 feet high can scour a canyon suddenly. 4  Ice jams and snowmelt can help cause flash floods.
