In other words, the Audi RS3 â now itâs become a proper hatchback â becomes the daddy. The top dog. Itâs the most powerful new hot hatchback on Earth. Audi claims the new RS3 Sportback will launch from 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds, but we immediately think theyâre lying â in a good way. When we drove the previous car, which dawdled along with just 374bhp, in 2015, it registered a 3.9 second zero-to-sixty dash.
northern and western United States, annual spring floods result from spring snowmelt and the extent of flooding is dependent upon winter snowpack and spring weather patterns.
One cause of floods can be forecast months in advance--snow. Sometimes the ground is too hard or too wet to soak up water. The only place the rain can go is downstream. Usually rainfall of more than one inch in one hour is needed to cause a flash flood. Sometimes a place can get hit by a flash flood even if it's sunny because it might be raining on higher ground somewhere. The floods in Poland this summer weren't flash floods. They were caused by heavy rainfall but the rain was spread out over days. So much rain fell that the rivers couldn't handle all the water.
