The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may be caused by heavy rain associated with a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, or tropical storm, or by meltwater from ice and snow.
- Flash floods may also occur after the collapse of a natural ice or debris dam, or a human structure such as a man-made dam, as occurred before the Johnstown Flood of 1889.
- Flash floods are distinguished from regular floods by having a timescale of fewer than six hours between rainfall and the onset of flooding.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Flash flood article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
