Extreme Weather: Fires, Floods, Tornadoes, And Snowstorms Emerge Around The Globe. Extreme weather is wreaking havoc around the globe. While Texas is still in the midst of digging out from a weekend of tornadoes, the Lone Star state has been forced to brace for a massive snowstorm. El Nino is being blamed for many of the severe weather systems, which also include flooding induced by heavy rains, fires, and mudslides. The death toll from extreme weather conditions over the weekend is shocking.
Why do flash floods occur? The main factors that result in flash floods in deserts and semi deserts are; - sudden, intense rain. Total rainfall amounts (measurements) do not have to be high, even stor â¦ ms of less than .5 inches can cause flash floods, if the rainfall is intense.- topography.esert soil is thin and dry and cannot absorb a sudden rainstorm and there are few plants to absorb water. The rain rushes down hillsides and mountains and overflows arroyos, flowing into roads and homes in its path. They can occur suddenly and areas far from the actual storm can be flooded.
