Also known as forest fires, wildfires are large uncontrollable fires that are fueled by dry vegetation. Wildfires often occur alongside a drought.
Blizzards are a type of dangerous snowstorm where there are powerful winds with a minimum speed of 35 mph (56 kph).
A flood is where land is covered by water when it normally is dry. This occurs when a large amount of precipitation or melting ice causes bodies of water to overflow.
