Storofsen, også kalt Storfloa, var en ekstremflom som rammet store deler av innlandet i Norge i juli 1789. Uværet utløste også en rekke jordskred. Dette har gitt uværssommeren navnet Skriusommaren – sommeren med skred. Flommen skyldtes en kombinasjon av sen snøsmelting, kraftig regnvær og sterk varme, også i fjellet. Den toppet seg mellom 21. og 23. juli, da en bonde i Sunndalen skal ha målt hele 320 mm med regn. Flommen rammet særlig Glommavassdraget, de øvre delene av Begnavassdraget, Numedalslågen, Driva, Orkla og de midtre delene av Gaula, men også andre områder fikk smake uværet. Flommen strakk seg like til Otra på Sørlandet.
