The flood that took out the town near where I grew up wasn't directly because of the water. it was the debris that the water carried until stopped at a bridge. People said it looked like a beaver dam. Then the water would rise and eventually be too much for the bridge that was designed to be a bridge and not a dam and the whole thing would give and that pile of mess would go down steam and take out the next bridge, one after the other.
