Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True

Floods can be one of nature’s most destructive forces. The damage caused by water’s “wetness” is
secondary to the crushing pressures of its currents. If water from rain, melting snow or flooding
doesn’t drain quickly enough, rock and soil can become saturated with water.
Mudslides possess enough force and speed to destroy homes, even entire neighborhoods. In
May 1971, heavy rains in St- Jean-Vianney, Que., cause the earth to collapse into a sinkhole. The
mudslide that resulted killed 31 people and swept away 35 homes, a bus and several cars.
In addition to their destructive physical force, floods bring with them a more menacing threat. If
water levels are high enough, water seeps into houses and buildings, washing through laundry
rooms, tool sheds, garages, chemical storage closets, septic tanks and garbage receptacles. Runoff
carries chemicals, toxins and waste products that can filter through the water table for long periods of
time. Flood victims must be extremely cautious about the water they drink, the food they eat, and
how they bathe themselves.
