Floods are among the worst natural disasters in history. Often caused by storms that bring heavy rain, flooding can sometimes happen with little to no warning. In rare cases, they can even be caused by humans. This type of natural disaster can also be deadly. The worst floods in the U.S. history have killed thousands of people. Just a small amount of moving water can sweep people—and even vehicles—away. Part of The Earth’s Worst Natural Disasters series, The Worst Floods on Record tells the stories of some of the worst floods that have taken place in the last two centuries.

The Earth's Worst Natural Disasters Series

A 40-foot (12-m) flood carrying locomotives in its path. A typhoon half the size of China. A tsunami that killed more than 225,000 people. What do these tragedies have in common? They are among the worst weather events on record. The Earth’s Worst Natural Disasters is a fascinating book series about the biggest, strongest, and deadliest acts of nature on the planet. With striking color photographs, a resourceful Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series discusses the worst earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and typhoons in history.
