About this audiobook
The sky darkens and it begins to rain. Hours later the rain still falls heavily. Somewhere a dam bursts and a wall of water surges downstream. It's a flood! These powerful natural disasters can wash away cars, trees, and even people's homes. Readers can learn about history's biggest, deadliest floods from around the world.
