Among the many different causes of flooding includes ice jam flooding. This is caused when chunks of ice are pushed together to create a dam due to heavy precipitation. As the water begins to build up, this causes a spillover and potentially breaking of ice walls. With ice breaking, the rush of water carries chunks of ice, which can cause damage to surrounding structures. #FloodFacts #Flooding
