I am from upstate NY. Once in Chaco Canyon on a beautiful day we experience a flash flood. Calm peaceful no one around. Then a roar and utter amazement. Very scary. But incredible
A childhood friend of Mine in South Australia lost his little sister to a Flash Flood like this. He left her playing with her Tea Set and Dolls in the dry creek bed, when his Mother called him inside to get two drinks, for him and his sister. When he got back she was gone. It was Four Days before they found her body. She was simply to young to recognise the danger and probably didn’t see it anyway.
This reminds me of a trip I took in 1995. A couple friends and I were driving from California, through Arizona, and across southern Utah, making our best effort to stay off paved roads. One late night around midnight, we pulled into a spot near Canyonlands National Park to stop and camp for the night. We started to set up our tents in the darkness, but then quickly realized we needed to move from where we were to higher ground because we were (at the time) setting up in a draw that looked like it had experienced flooding in the past. I know… you might think “Eh, what are the odds?” But we moved to higher ground nearby and cashed it in for the night. Approximately 4 hours later we were awakened by the sound of an early morning flash flood that tore through that site at which we initially started setting up. We thanked our lucky stars that we had the presence of mind to move to a safer location despite how tired we were. Ever since then, every time I’ve gone camping that’s always been one of my first considerations when setting up camp.
just another Joe You can't simply enjoy this impressive footage without the me me me angle telling everyone unsolicited about *YOUR* experience. Talk about self absorbed!
@@cquilty1, I found the story interesting. You, on the other hand, not so much. How self absorbed you must be to think other people need to hear YOUR unsolicited opinion about a story they shared.
Amazing water flow….have a look at the videos of Illgraben in Switzerland it’s rainwater runoff from the Swiss Alps."now that is bloody scary ..the speed of the water plus size of the boulders getting pushed along in the water mix.
Hey Greg, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
I was camping along this creek when this happened.i was washed away.i was brought back to life and now camp further upstream.i still have a metal pole in my head they were unable to remove😢
@@SilentKnight43 I lived out in the South West for 38 years, went camping out in the desert a lot ,had to find firewood, not whittling wood, but not a bad idea. LOL
@@bb1040 We live near the Niagara River and get a lot of driftwood that accumulates around the great Whirlpool. Would make great firewood except it'd be a bitch haulin' it out of the steep gorge.
@@SilentKnight43 I live a little south east of Erie,PA. now and cut my own firewood, on flat ground, LOL would never try to get it out of a steep gorge like that, but out in the desert everything is pretty much flat and after things dry out, you can usually drive right up to it, but you have to make sure it is dried up because if it is still wet, you could get really stuck, when it is wet that mud is like glue!

On the bright side, no plastic trash
Yes, but its a Civilized country and not full of dumb people like many others.
Only wood
.....and no dead bodies either.
No colored people, no plastic trash
I’m shocked there isn’t!!
Ah, the wild lumber yard migration. A beautiful spectacle!
The great Chocolate Milk Flood of 2022.
Little too rich from the looks of it. That’s more like hot cocoa.
What absolutely amazes me is the total lack of plastic bottles and garbage in that! So amazing!
You better look again, I saw lots of trash.
@@randallmarsh1187 Everything is relative.
There will be.
It's not a third world country. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
If this spectacle took place in Asia, there would be much plastic and refuse.

Ahhhhh!!! That sweet relief when you've had too much cheese, followed by too much Taco Bell, & it finally breaks loose.
When the whole town lets rip after taco bell Tuesday.
Your not wrong.
🤣
You just ruined my apetite silly bear

Wow that’s a terrible story to happen. Poor little girl
And poor big brother for having to live with that
That just sucks

Excellent reply to that long winded self absorbed post!

Cool story, got any others?
Scary to think of getting caught in that flow. I'm thinking it would grind you up in short order.
A human sized ball mill.
Powerful, when it came around the bend it looked big enough to take out the bridge.
The most important thing is that the bridge can withstand the pressure of water!
Um ... am not sure that I would trust THAT!
@@kimp428 True...it was just plain stupid to park on the bridge.
-- BR
Cool video. Glad you didn’t get hurt
The scariest part is its sunny!
All the spectators there knew this was coming. Was this just rain in the mountain, or a scheduled upstream dam release?
Amazing to see! Even in a video!

2 short a capture..
💪
Don't think I'd park my car on the bridge to watch.
Great Video!
Mother Nature doesn't mess around!
Awesome 👍Thx for sharing
That was interesting, thanks
Nice video. Good timing. Good camera work.
Nice flush!
That is power thank you
Nice clean water
Amazing water power
लाजवाब
When it started it almost looked alive! Weird creatures from some sci-fi movie, but it was just Mother Nature at her best!
Never seen a Mulch Flood before!!
Looked like a lahar.
I love that horn honkin' @ the Dumb ask who just stops in the road.......
Are there measures locally to slow and capture that water upstream so it starts to recharge the very low aquifers in the state?
Let me park my truck on the bridge. No flash flood has ever knocked over a bridge. Hey can I get a ride with you back to town?
Never seen that before!
That almost looks like a landslide with all the logs the water's pushing, you can definitely see how getting caught in that flow would be devastating.
A flash Moab.

you just refuse to hold that camera still don'tchya?
When the fiber hits:
Is this in United States or where exactly?
I MISS MOAB!
How do you they know that it's coming?
Quite the lahar
People need to learn how to hold the camera still, and the lady needs to know how to hold her camera period. (no vertical videos on iPhones)
Time to go fishing 😂😂😂
If this was anywhere in Asia, Africa it would have been a river of plastic
Now it makes sense how all the bones ended up in the boneyard
Nature just flushing the toilet.
The next town upstream just had a lunch catered by Taco Bell.
Awesome 🎉
Every time I see one of these I think, Where does all that wood end up, once it dries out it would make a nice pile of firewood.
Or you could whittle it, sand/polish and varnish it.....glue a dead squirrel to it and sell on eBay as art.

Last seconds - who double parks on the bridge!?
Holy shit,!
Flash flood is like 'out of the way dude, comin thru'!
OMG!!
What does Moab have to do with it?
THAT WAS TWAZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Mother Nature just moving some mulch...
Where is this place?
Holy smokes was the camerawork making me feel nauseated.
I know, proper amateur. Probably some young kid
Gee, would it be legal to gather the firewood drifting down the stream?
Don't burn cottonwood. Toxic.
Legal, sure. Smart? Not so much.
The start of it looked like some sci-fi/horror monster, like in The Blob..
Post 10 would like that everything is clear and flowing
Where which country 😮
What is the cause, did they open a flood gate upstream or something?
Rain 10miles away
I am trying to catch one!
It would be cool from a drone for sure!
That's what I call chocolate thunder.
We are good. Famous last words...
That is errie looking.
Mulch delivery
Aaaaand that is how Mother Earth moves debris from higher to lower ground.
Crazy
Muy corto el video.
Given how over developed and over built Moab is, I’m surprised there aren’t condos built in the wash.
it doesnt even look like water, it just looks like flowing sticks
I left a fudgsicle on our patio table once and it made it almost all brown.
Ah great james bonds barkeeper filmed this
Please stand by for a TACO BELL moment
This is when you want to film using a drone. A lot safer and less shaky!
Parked on the bridge???? Floods tear bridges apart!!!
lets do gofundme to buy him a tripod
Chuck Norris flushing his toilet.
💗💗💗❤️💓❣️
Nooo plastic or trash just goood dirt and soil
Forbidden chocolate fountain.
The chocolate river.
That's a wash.
RIDE THE CHOCOLATE WAVEEEEE!
Out West you better know the weather 100 miles up North before you go hiking in the canyons.
You think you can shake the camera a little more? Not quite sea sick enough yet.
Nature’s scrub brush.
I'm curious, is there always debris in the beginning of it?
Reminds me of having a pimple with a black head in front of it.
I didn't see a single plastic straw. Turtles will be so happy and I can come out of my safe space now!
Hope all that water is going to Lake Powell.
The river sticks

So that's how the World changes ..Huh !
