Eli5 – Drowning in floods but less than a foot of rain?

448 views

Whenever I read stories of people drowning in floods, it seems there was only a foot of rain or less. I can see how this would be extremely destructive but how does water up to your neck and higher occur?

You get swept into rivers, lakes, sea, etc.

Once you are in a large body of water, it makes it easier to drown.
