Youâll learn about the earthâs ability to soak up water like a sponge, and why it sometimes gets overwhelmed. Discover what geographic areas are most susceptible to flooding, and what people living in those places do to protect themselves. Youâll also learn about floodwater–whatâs floating around in there that makes it such a toxic soup? Most of Hurricane Katrinaâs destruction was caused by flooding after the storm had already passed.
