Welcome to the TACA Website. I am truly honored to serve as the 2016 - 2017 President of the Tax Assessor-Collectors Association of Texas. Ronnie Keister - TACA President. Lubbock County Tax Assessor-Collector.
A flood is caused by a combination of heavy rainfall. causing river / oceans to over flow their banks, and can. happen at any time of the year, not just in the winter. Floods generally develop over a period of. days, when there is too much rainwater to fit. in the rivers and water spreads over the land.
But in ALL cases, it is the storm winds which cause the coastal flooding, not the tides. Coastal flooding is the result of meteorology (the weather) not astronomy (normal tidal fluctuations). All astronomical considerations are accounted for in the NOS tide and tidal current predictions.
