A flood is caused by a combination of heavy rainfall. causing river / oceans to over flow their banks, and can. happen at any time of the year, not just in the winter. Floods generally develop over a period of. days, when there is too much rainwater to fit. in the rivers and water spreads over the land.
Most casualties during tropical cyclones occur as the result of storm surges. The two main meteorological factors contributing to a storm surge are a long fetch of winds spiraling inward toward the storm, and a low-pressure-induced dome of water drawn up under and trailing the storm's center.
