I would conclude with the about how dangerous they are. And perhaps list the safety rules from the National Weather Service. And maybe bring up the difference between Flash Flood Warning and Flash Flood Watch. I have attached the website also.
Flash floods can strike any time and any place with little or no warning. In mountainous or flat terrain, distant rain may be channeled into gullies and ravines, turning a quiet streamside campsite or wash into a rampaging torrent in minutes. City streets can become rivers in seconds. Observe these flash flood safety rules. They could save your life.

First, state denuded mountains due to rampant conversion from forested area into crops plantations, in this case mountain soil loose due to no trees hold the soil from erosion then upon accumulation of huge water on top, soil will turn into mud and absolutely comes down to the plain as flash floods.

They usually occur near rivers and can come on quickly, hence the name flash flood. Flash flooding is responsible for more deaths than any thunderstorm associated hazard, more than 140 deaths annually.
