Reed, you have some of the best and most informative weather videos I have ever seen. I am aware of other people who say oh some people make too much noise in their videos, but to heck with them. Please never stop doing what you do, sir.
Wow. Big weather in a big country - good watch. Mainly smaller weather in a smaller country here in the UK. We do get some of your second hand weather systems after they have crossed the pond.
The "stupid motorist law" is a law in the U.S. state of Arizona that states that any motorist who becomes stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway may be charged for the cost of their rescue. The law corresponds to section 28-910 of the Arizona Revised Statutes
I’ve lived in Arizona my whole life and every year we suffer from preventable deaths during monsoon season because people don’t practice extreme caution during flash floods. Don’t camp in washes, or near river beds even if the sky is clear. Don’t drive through washes even if the water looks shallow. Don’t hike into canyons or washes even if the weather is clear where you are at. Heavy localized rainfall is common during monsoons, so even if it’s sunny and nice where you are at, you have no idea what is coming from upstream. If you suspect there is a flash flood headed your way get to high ground immediately, even if it means abandoning your vehicle. Do not try to outrun the water. Just some tips I was taught from a young age about the dangers of the monsoons.
Last year, here in Cochise County, a motorist got in trouble when he drove into what looked to be merely standing water. It was mud, deep enough to strand him. He called his brother to come and winch him out. Then another flood came and both were swept away. Remarkably, they were able to get out of the water two miles downstream and survived without serious injury. Their clothes were mostly torn off them by the branches they encountered in the water. Few people drown in flash floods; most of the deaths are from blunt force injury from the logs and rocks and other heavy stuff driven along by the water.
@@nemo227 And it's a lesson not widely shared or understood: He did not drive into moving water, which is the great mantra we are taught. He didn't violate that rule at all. But he still was caught by the flood. The key is perhaps that it was at night, and it just wasn't possible to see clearly what he was getting into.
@@louisc.gasper7588 Indeed, yes. Sometimes the water flow looks safe enough but the water carries many battering rams in the form of logs, big rolling rocks. No one wants to be battered to death.
Amazing. When I first moved to AZ, I didn't know about the monsoon (pre-cell phone days!) and was hiking back in the Crack at Wet Beaver creek on a sunny day. The monsoon rolled over the rim and poured in sheets. Gorgeous, but we were hiking on a cliffside trail with water pouring down the washes over our ankles. When we reached the base of the cliff, we thought we were in the clear on a wide trail high above the creek but forgot water would be pouring down the mountain, so we were hiking in four inches! There really weren't many safe options. Happily, we made it out safe, but I have had HUGE respect for the weather ever since! Incredible video! I've driven past Dry Beaver creek hundreds of times and will look at it with amazement now!
A friend living in Tucson once found what looked like a buried car in a wash after some flooding and called the police. Ended up the car was last seen driving into a flooded wash back in the mid 70's, and when the car was dug out some human remains were found. At least this finally closed a missing person case. Flash flooding is serious, those signs were put there for a reason.
Oh my gosh. This brought back so many memories of living in the high desert in California. One minute you have a dry Wash- the next minute a raging river. Nature is amazing
Awesome vid Reed! It is astonishing how quickly that turned from "Oh look! There's a bit of water coming." to "Holy crap! It's a raging, muddy river full of debris, get to high ground NOW!!" Seriously like 90 seconds from trickle to extreme danger. It's natural to underestimate the seriousness of a situation like that.
What people don't realize here in Arizona the flash floods washes are dug out and have a high degree angle due to the soft sand water quickly erodes causing the water to flow at a high rate. Much higher then water flows in the midwest.
We live right on the top of the plateau of the “Dry Beaker Creek.” We witnessed this wall of water standing at the top of our property. I told my husband I could hear it coming down the creek. You can hear it very loud and clear. We hike this creek all the time with our children, and I’ve always advised to them anytime it’s raining anywhere in the outskirts to get out of the creek immediately in fact that we only allow them to go when it’s a sunny day. Arizona has had the biggest monsoon season and wettest winter and right now March 23 we’re having major flash floods. It’s a sight to behold to see a wall of water, and we’ve explain to the children how dangerous it is, even though it looks unassuming the debris and the way it travels and how fast it travels is unassuming.the Dry Beaver Creek has pockets that are well over 20 feet deep. You would never think it but it’s got very interesting terrain. We have stood above looking down at cars trying to cross and people being swept away and have watched multiple search and rescue teams try to rescue people. Please be safe and never cross the creek when running. The debris that we have found after these flash floods are amazing, including car parts parts of a home even children’s car seats. Reed you’ve done this area an amazing job! I’ll try to attach some pictures.
Incredible one minute it’s dry and next minute it’s flooding everywhere fascinating to watch nature turn things around in such a short time. Thank you for sharing
the danger is very real, a flash flood in germany last year in the ahr valley killed 200 and caused billions in property damages. we were underprepared. as you can see from the numbers, this is comparable to something like the joplin,mo f5 from 2011. very, very scary.
Love your videos. I live in Las Vegas,NV and a few years ago we were at the Wetlands and it started raining in North Las Vegas and then the flowing water started to get really loud so even though we had clear skies where we were and no rain yet we moved to higher ground so that we were on the paved bike trail that was there. Then I kept hearing random like wood knocks and creaking and then snap snap. I looked and saw like 12 50ft tall trees swaying slowly them looking like those whacky flaying floating tube thingys usually at used car lots. And then saw this whirlpool/sinkhole open up and swallowed those trees like they were nothing along with probably an acres worth of land. Within 4 minutes the flowing water in the wash that was as wide as a 2 lane road opened up and was wider than all the lanes from one side to the other side of the I-15 before it started to rain at the Wetlands where we were. If I ever get my computer working I have video footage of it that I recorded on my phone and I will upload it here on youtube.
At 3:44 you can see a “hydraulic jump” develop on the left margin of the frame, and quickly migrate upstream as the water depth increases as the downstream flow from center frame behind the small dirt berm intersects and over rides the transverse flow coming from left to right. Pretty cool fluid dynamics.
Thats awesome footage Reed shows just how fast flooding can happen. We had family swept away few years ago sleeping in tents on river bank. Didnt even rain where they were camping it came a down poor about 10 miles away from them and the river took them in their sleep. This happened in sw Missouri several years ago!
Before anyone even thinks of attempting something like this, they should be aware that Reed has been working with water for many years. The water knows and trusts him, and will not attack no matter how close he gets.
Thanks for another great explanation and up personal view of flash flood dangers and tips to stay safe. Important information if you are purchasing property, exploring a new area, or building a home..
About 65 years ago I was privileged to see a flash flood in person, it was nothing like what you filmed here, but it was fascinating. That for sharing and bringing back memories of my teen years.
Lived in Rimrock for a decade.......I am a Zonie and have never seen more magnificent Monsoon storms than Rimrock......watched clouds go 3 different directions above my house..... such a display of power...... sure picked a good spot.....know exactly where you are at.......
The creek bed doesn't have to be dry to get into trouble. There's this water hole on Adams Ave by Crescentville Rd, recall hearing of a flash flood warning. Tacony creek runs by there, and with a low-head dam creating a sizable pool, many inner-city youth play in it with no city pools nearby. A wall of high water came down the creek and caught them by surprise. Several went over the dam onto the rocky creekbed and lost their lives. Philadelphia PA.
I don't live to far from Rimrock but back in 2004-6 there was some good monsoons that wood come and this particular area at this crossing would be 5' higher and almost flowing up to the road. There were other places too like Oak Creek canyon and the Verde River that would hurl big huge rocks down the river channels, the sound was deafening.
@@tonythomas951 Yes, there was and then there was a drought later then back to more more monsoons. That was when AZ had natural weather and now it seems to be chemtrails and weather wars making our weather now with little to no monsoons. Destroying the food crops with too much water or not enough.
Nothing here displays the suddenness and danger of the flood quite like the drone view of just how _close_ the leading edge of the flood is to the zone over the road that's obviously too deep and fast-running to cross.
Wow! Great video, thanks! I live about a 3/4 mile from Dry Beaver, and hike it frequently, a few miles upstream from where you shot the video. I've always been amazed at how fast the creek can go from no water at all to a raging torrent in no time flat. Going down to check the water level in the creek right after I finish this post, but definitely not going anywhere near the creek bottom after watching that video!
I like where you put up the little blue boxes explaining the situation, but keep them up a few seconds longer so I can read the whole explanation please. Keep chasing my friend.
this also happens in WV. my 2 younger brothers and their friends were caught in the middle of the night. they were camping too close to a small creek. ended up in trees clinging on for life! stunning yet scary video!!
This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. Very well planned I love the intensity. I plan on watching you more in fact I’m going to subscribe and like this video. If I can make a suggestion , when the light level is low during storms please don’t move your camera so fast. End up losing a lot of detail and takes some of the intensity away. Just a tip. Thank you for all you do it’s awesome!
My family used to travel during the summer to Amarillo TX. One afternoon near the Arizona/California border we were caught under a devastating cell that dropped so much rain we couldn't see the front of our hood. My dad immediately drove to the highest rise on the road and stopped. Streams of water poured across the road before us and behind us. We just stayed there and watched the flood go around us. We had to wait a couple of hours until the water abated, and even then we ended up rolling over a sharp rock and had to find an open repair place in Needles, CA to fix it. That was a memorable day on the road!
Wow, how did you catch this, I’m astonished! I have never in my life seen footage like this! How did you know this? You definitely have God on your side, no doubt whatsoever! It’s totally unbelievable footage. Thank you !
I like the way you used your titles. Intro, then the detail. And just as I was thinking to myself this would have been really cool to have some drone footage, there you go and you fly your drone.
That flood ended up drastically bigger than I thought it would be. These videos should be shown on all news stations to show how huge the flash floods can get. Thank you for sharing this. Glad you were safe.
The flood is like umm.. Excuse me let me go by sir... thank u.. 😇 when I was home in the reservations we use to watch the floods when it rained heavy when I was little.
1988, I was stationed at Kirtland AFB and was in the highest of Albuquerque. I was at the edge of the 100 year flood. 7 inches of rain and hail came down in 45 minutes. it was terrifying! all the intersections turned into raging rivers. One teenager crossed the arroyo when it was flowing and the flow rate was so intense, the Guard Rail was ripped out of the ground and the car with teenager went sailing down Indian school road. She was yelling for help but no one could help her. Her body was found a mile down river in some bushes. Car was buried with sand to its roof.
Scrolled up to your videos, sooo cool!! I grew up in Tucson 1958-1971. Behind our house was a deep arroyo we played in. We had many flash floods that never overflowed the bank. The city would cut off entrances into the arroyos. It fascinated me, still does!!
Reed, you have some of the best and most informative weather videos I have ever seen. I am aware of other people who say oh some people make too much noise in their videos, but to heck with them. Please never stop doing what you do, sir.
I enjoy the enthusiasm as well.
Wow. Big weather in a big country - good watch. Mainly smaller weather in a smaller country here in the UK. We do get some of your second hand weather systems after they have crossed the pond.
Would not be a Reed Timmer vid without his excited exclamations. Would not want it any other way.

They have a similar law here in Texas. They get charged the full amount...... if they survive. Turn Around! Don't Drown!
Same in whistler British Columbia. You ski outside the warnings.....you pay. 5000.00$ and up. Rescuers are risking their lives because of cocky fools.
We had a rescue interviewed on TV here and she said "I saw that road closed sign but I thought it just meant be careful"

The same thing happens in far west Texas and neighboring parts of New Mexico as well. They're also high desert.

there are more dramatic ones on youtube where water overtakes bridges. so goes from dry to overtopping a bridge in like 30 seconds.
Yes, amazing how big it got from only 3 inches.

I had no idea Reed had a doctorate.... Damn, if I had one, I'd be constantly reminding people I'm a Dr. Lol Reeds awesome AND he's humble!
Agreed. His knowledge makes my head spin!
Not that kind of doctor
This is my a backyard. Wet Beaver creek runs right behind my house, dry BC is about 3 min away. I see this every monsoon season
Dose the water overflow from a river , Aussie

That is insane. Imagine a choke point with that volume that fast. Great footage/example of the speed of the danger.
Please don’t put music over the top of the video. It ruins the ability to hear the flood.
Yes, there's nothing like the sound of water roaring down an empty creek.
Agreed , so many you tube vids are ruined by music, particularly when it is the lame generic stuff as used in this vid.
After living in Thailand for 14 years it's funny to see your excitement over what is a regular rainy day here. We keep a kayak handy for the big ones.
There it is. The inevitable "yeah, well where I live we get tsnumais, tornadoes, wildfires, and hurricanes every day! And they're all 10x bigger!!"

1988, I was stationed at Kirtland AFB and was in the highest of Albuquerque. I was at the edge of the 100 year flood. 7 inches of rain and hail came down in 45 minutes. it was terrifying! all the intersections turned into raging rivers. One teenager crossed the arroyo when it was flowing and the flow rate was so intense, the Guard Rail was ripped out of the ground and the car with teenager went sailing down Indian school road. She was yelling for help but no one could help her. Her body was found a mile down river in some bushes. Car was buried with sand to its roof.
Scrolled up to your videos, sooo cool!! I grew up in Tucson 1958-1971. Behind our house was a deep arroyo we played in. We had many flash floods that never overflowed the bank. The city would cut off entrances into the arroyos. It fascinated me, still does!!
