For the second time in a couple of weeks southwestern part of the United States has experienced lots of rainfall.
This rainfall has been the product of the warm tropic air blowing North creating rain clouds.
Due to this rainfall there have been many flash flood warnings in the states of New Mexico, Arizona, and some parts of California.
This increase in rain is a blessing to many of these southwest states because of recent drought struggles.
This may also be bad for many of the states in droughts because of the dry soil becoming more flash flood prone.
Some states are even predicted to get around 5 inches of rain through out this week.
Questions:
1. What would you do if your town had a flash flood?
2. Do you think all of this rain is a good or bad thing for these states? Explain.
3. If this amount of rain were to affect our town, how do you think it would impact our community? (Good or bad) Explain.

One thing to think about is writing in paragraph form a bit more instead of just sentences. Good job otherwise.
Get on the roof. The rain can help crops and other plants grow but to much rain can cause disastrous conditions. Good because we have not had a good rain in a long time and the fire hazard risk is high so I think it would help the risk go down.
I like how you worded your response to these questions.
That is very scary and concerning. I think that they are all getting a rude awakening for a lot of people, not just people of the Southwest. I don't think its very good because after a certain amount, it will ruin the crops which will produce less food.
I also thought that is must be terrifying.
