Flash flooding caused the Scranton basement to flood.

Flash flood: A flood caused by heavy or excessive rainfall in a short period of time, generally less than 6 hours. Flash floods are usually characterized by raging torrents after heavy rains that rip through river beds, urban streets, or mountain canyons sweeping everything before them. They can occur within minutes or a few hours of excessive rainfall. Last night parts of Lackawanna County again experienced heavy rains that caused flood like conditions.
