This situation is usually caused by heavy rainfall. The river at the foot of the mountain is actually the spillway in the mountain area. In the upper reaches of this river, due to years of rain erosion, many tributaries flowing down from different mountains often form. When it doesn't rain at ordinary times, or when it doesn't rain much, these tributaries have little water and can only maintain the normal water level of the river below the mountain. When there is sudden heavy rainfall in mountainous areas, it is too late for rain to penetrate and be absorbed by plants. All the water flowing down from the mountains is concentrated in the tributaries, and the water in the tributaries will be very large. Many tributaries flow in a concentrated way? Spillway? What will this cause? Spillway? The water level in the lower reaches suddenly rises sharply. If there are people in the river at this time, it will be dangerous. If this happens on a big river, the tributaries of the upper reaches suddenly flood in, and a greater natural disaster may occur.

Before the flood comes, there will be some omens, such as sudden cloudy days, or dark clouds in the upper reaches of the river, accompanied by lightning. At this time, be careful that the heavy rain causes the river to rise.

Don't panic when the river suddenly rises. Don't run with the current. Near the coast. There will be trees to catch on the shore, and someone can rescue them as soon as possible.

If it rains heavily, but the river doesn't rise, you should move to a higher place, so don't take any chances.

6. If the property is washed away, give up decisively, don't? Give up your life for money? Personal safety is the most important.
