How does 10 inches of rainfall cause extreme flooding like what we are seeing in Kentucky?
In: 9091
That’s 10” of water /everywhere/. Which means that water will flow. 90% of the ground will absorb like an inch or two, and have the other 8” flow downhill. Which means that the 10% that are downhill, they get 80+ inches of water flowing on to them. Even more for the major rivers that tend to be downhill of everywhere. And when you have a river running several feet higher than usual, it causes problems.
