I couldn't find the archived Local News Weather Report mentioning the high local totals but here are a few of the flash flood stories. Maybe it was one of the other stations other than WBIR. Either way it was a lot of water, harder than I had seen, and after speaking to long term neighbors (10+ years to lifetime residents) they also felt it was the heaviest short burst they could recall. www.wbir.com/article/news/local/west-knoxville-farragut/knoxville-flooding-throughout-years/51-69142f1d-c275-4132-aa98-7af8a914a102 www.wbir.com/article/weather/weather-impact/weather-impact-alert-day-for-july-30-and-july-31-2024/51-3abf1b55-3075-4119-a611-38ddbe478ead www.wbir.com/article/weather/weather-impact/weather-impact-alert-day-august-1-2024/51-dc1f303a-d8b8-4c93-a77c-95ef273a682b
We needed to slow the flow at our place - so we put in a deeply gravelled pathway that zig zagged across & down the slope. It helped catch the silt & it also watered the gardens surrounding the pathway during dry times. The speed of the water causes erosion in & of itself. Gravel bed was about 4-5" deep & that stops erosion & deposits silt instead of lifting it away. East Coast Australia
we may try that on our farm. This video is from our current home in an HOA/POA so we can not change anything. We can make requests…. That don’t seem to turn into work orders…. ruclips.net/video/smb8T86GO7U/видео.htmlsi=dnPBqf63u6ioweap
yes, and where the grass was very firmly rooted we didn't have any erosion. Down closer to where it enters the forest, there is no grass and it washed out about 7-8" of soil. Eventually the HOA/POA is going to need to put rock down there.
I think it is all about total square inches. I don’t believe the shape would matter much. The big change has been all the building uphill from us. We will see if there are problems after a few big storms. We’ve been in drought for months now…..
@@barbmarik I doubt what I'm saying here is useful but it's just a thought 😅 Over here in Canada, Downtown Brampton has a flood protection project. I'm not sure if it would be useful for down stream so your property won't be affected. Downtown Brampton and Toronto are known for flooding during heavy rain storms like the one in this video. The article mentions this: "The Downtown Brampton Flood Protection (DBFP) project, is part of Riverwalk and focuses on ways to eliminate and reduce flooding from the Etobicoke Creek during extreme storms. This project will make improvements to the Etobicoke Creek channel, as per the approved DBFP Environmental Assessment (2020), including:" - Widening and deepening the Etobicoke Creek channel - Replacing bridges at Church, Scott, and Queen Streets and the pedestrian bridge south of the CN Rail line - Improving the bridge at the CN Rail line - Relocating Ken Whillans Drive to the west - Improvements to Church Street at Etobicoke Creek But the places mentioned here are just for the Downtown Brampton area with a site map to show when it aims to do. I'd link it to show as a better example then copying and pasting it, but I know some youtube comment sections have a anti-link protection thing. So far we only have the water channels that run under highway bridges, for the large amount of rain water that'll send the water to the Great Lakes
Scary - if that culvert were blocked, it would flood the road uphill from him and maybe flood the house. And culverts do get blocked by debris at times like this.
yes, and it was partially clogged but no way I was going to get near it and pinned by the flow on the uphill side. I think that culvert is going to be undersized now that the neighborhood is so built up and has a lot more run off. Rainy season is just getting going so we will see what happens the next time a tropical depression from the gulf comes over us.
We have an 18' drain for the road here in Ohio. I have seen it so full that the water had to go past the drains ( on both sides of the road) and just follow the downhill. There is a 75' drop between the road and the bottom edge of the property And when that pipe is full, it races down the hill.
As they build more houses it will get worse. Totally agree except it’s not our land is the Home Owners Association so they need to decide to do something….. which is not likely
Won't that wind up making a mini-Grand Canyon eventually running thru your yard? I mean that much water that fast will remove the soil and grass to create a ditch, I'd think. I also wonder why that was placed right there on your private property. Or is that normal? 😀
We haven’t seen that volume since. It was a crazy downpour. We’ve been here 5 years and so far no significant erosion but we have only seen water flow like that once…. So far
@@blaydCA You're confusing apples and oranges. Flash floods happen because the ground can't absorb the water fast enough so it flows to the lowest point where it accumulates. No, you don't get more than 12 inches of rain per hour. That's still BS.
@@blaydCA Not true. Flash floods are caused by water accumulation due to the soil not being able to absorb it in areas with valleys. You're not getting 12 inches an hour.
@@MasterKenfucius Roughly 5 inches in about 25 minutes was one memorable storm. I don't remember the other one measurement wise. Correct they don't last long, about 30 minutes or less, and little vegetation to slow it down. You can often watch the rain front move it. Usually it's over rapidly and you go about your day unless the roads are either washed out or buried in gravel, rocks, stones and whatever.
I can only say what the local weather station reported. They did say the deluge was very locally isolated and I can confirm that because our farm about 30 minutes away barely had drizzle.
It is definitely not normal, and it wasn't everywhere but that is what our TV station weather said (WBIR) that there were bursts over areas. I saw some other RUclips postings nearby to us that had Rain Gauges and they had 6 in 30 minutes. We definitely don't get bursts like Florida is getting with the Hurricane/Tropical depression that dumps it even faster. Thanks for commenting, and consider subscribing if you haven't already. Have a great day.
4" is a lot but I have seen rains where we had 2" fall in less than 15 minutes. It was 15 minutes from the start till I could get out to the rain gage. At that rate, you would not be able to see the distance in this video so it had to be slacking off at that point. And I know my readings were correct as it was in a NWS rain gage.
No problem I would not call it normal. We have a tropical storm coming this week and they says that could bring 5 inches of rain but probably over the whole storm of 3 days. We will see what happens
I believe they need to make it larger. When it was installed there were no homes up hill for that point. Now there are roofs, driveways and patios feeding water straight into the gulley with no chance of absorption. If we have more storms like that it will actually wash over the road. We went back into drought though so almost zero rain since and we are only one stage away from worst level drought per weather forecasters this week (September 2024)
Yes, if it kept going completely agree. THe sun was back out in under an hour. The intense rain was very short. And from talking to others who lived about 10 miles away, they didn't get hardly any rain at all. Microburst type situation.
I find 4" in 15 minutes impossible to believe. That is 100mm. If this were true, this video would have been impossible to record because the flooding going on would be far too dangerous.
The rain started and stopped in under 25 minutes. The culvert went from DRY to FULL to DRY in about 40 minutes start to end... I will see if I can find the WBIR (Local TV Weather) post that gave that number and pin it to the comments. Thanks for commenting, and consider subscribing if you haven't already.
I have actually seen that kind of rainfall in Florida. We don't have NWS rain gages at all sites I worked at but when you get 25" in 24 hours in bursts, you know what to look for. 8"/hour rates produce total white out conditions. Here is what a summer rain storm looks like in S. Florida. Note the pickup near the end is barely visible at 150' from the house. ruclips.net/video/ZHqs3J7nUxY/видео.html

loved the video but the music is annoying...why can't the water flow and your voice be enough?

Dang! I'm in Georgia and my yard is on a slope too and the torrential rains we get can be frightening. I always worry about erosion.
yes, and where the grass was very firmly rooted we didn't have any erosion. Down closer to where it enters the forest, there is no grass and it washed out about 7-8" of soil. Eventually the HOA/POA is going to need to put rock down there.
I wonder if that was a box culvert, how much water would be coming out of there. There might be room of air to pass through so less pressure

sorry for all the text
@@barbmarik now that it's winter and spring will be coming after, all that melted snow will have to go somewhere. That is if you get snow 😅
looking at this now. this looks a little wordy.

It can really accumulate with slopes. Thanks for watching and commenting
When there's no rain, it'll be a good idea to make that stream abit more deeper incase there's more rain coming... you'll never know 😊
As they build more houses it will get worse. Totally agree except it’s not our land is the Home Owners Association so they need to decide to do something….. which is not likely
Call the county engineer THAT not good for your home lucky you have videos ❤🙏😊
We had a storm recently in my town where the rain water had pushed up many main holes
yes, we are near a lot of creeks and streams, so all the road water gets diverted down hill until it finally reaches the the lake a mile or two away
Won't that wind up making a mini-Grand Canyon eventually running thru your yard? I mean that much water that fast will remove the soil and grass to create a ditch, I'd think.

I call that 4 inches in 15 minutes total BS. The would have beat the world record. You need to check your numbers.
Come to South West High Desert.
More than that once in a while.
The flash floods are surreal.

I seriously doubt that was 4" in just 15 minutes. Not saying it's impossible, just very unlikely to come down in that much volume that quickly.

The South West deserts get that from time to time, or way worse!
Flash floods are hundreds of feet WIDE, and can be a few feet deep.
Moves boulders.
Just like eastern Texas
Yes, there are some areas that seem to get these bursts of rain. Florida is getting it real bad now too. Stay safe!!
The music takes away from it. Nature needs no background music
Should be 24 or 30 inch culvert
Yes, now with all the building uphill I bet they may even need to go to the next size over 30"
Is that kind of rain normal? 36 or 48 inch culverts may be needed. But be careful of the water next to your house.
No problem I would not call it normal. We have a tropical storm coming this week and they says that could bring 5 inches of rain but probably over the whole storm of 3 days. We will see what happens
🥀🌹🌷 🇹🇷
So after you see this, what is your proposal to either eliminate it or mitigate it. You sure can’t stop the rain.
Derp
