- Hundreds of #flood stranded #truckers on I-10 in #california were sleeping due to closures in all directions when a wave of water from a new flood came out of nowhere. @JonathanPetramala helped wake up dozens of motorists #traveling when stranded due to flooding earlier. This is near Thousand Palms, CA. West of this location on I-10 near #palmsprings the interstate was washed out due to a large flood.
Interstate 10 will likely be closed for a considerable amount of time and is the main link between #losangeles and #pheonix

I'm a truck driver too and I just appreciate the fact that you guys took the time to wake those fellow drivers up and warned them. What a shame that the officer wasn't thinking the same.
Me to! I drive truck. Thank y'all for helping them
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for caring for truckers. ❤
Absolutely, good going guys!! I'm glad you had the proper equipment and the ability to help. Now THATS what America used to be more like; people helping each other because it was the right thing to do. Glad good people are still out there.
Thanks guys for trying to wake the truckers good job better then the authorities god bless you and everyone
It's awesome that you guys took the time to wake up those drivers.
I've lived in Yucca Valley for 66 years and this is the first time weather has shut down I-10. Great job fellows for trying to help.
Thank you for waking up the people in the trucks, no one would have done it, Have a blessed day 🙏
This bought tears to my eyes to see these men risking their lives to save these people. God has you guys hearts thank you so much
Thank you for Risking your life for these trucks. The police officer certainly did not take his oath seriously
He took an oath to write up summons to the truck drivers who only their jobs to bring foods and essential supplies to everyone,truckers safety means nothing to him. When the officers needed assistance from truckers we answered the calls.
So awesome that you woke those people up! Saved property and most likely lives!!!
You guys are heroes. You guys saved these people's lives
Bravo to you guys for waking up the Truckers. Wish more people would help others like you folks. Shameful and a huge disgrace to the Officer that did not care.
True hero's!! My son is a trucker, and you men are ANGELS.
Wow guys thank you so much!! As a semi owner my husband is out in northern CA right now and it takes a lot to get him up. Thank you for caring enough to do this!!
That cop might have messed up. Someone's probably going to figure out who he is and report him. I understand he's probably at the end of a long shift, but cops are cops all the time, on or off duty. They signed up for it and sometimes the shift is extended. If there's an emergency and you bail, I don't see why we need cops like that. Not to mention running his lights and admittedly just so he could get home. "I don't care.."?! Now THATS what we want to hear from our first responders.
That police officer should have sounded his sirens instead of not caring and leaving. It could have saved more trucks and cars
I have driven this stretch of I-10 countless times and this is so crazy to see. Thank you for waking up those drivers. I cannot believe that officer. I hope you got his car number and call it in and let them know you have video of it. I have a friend who works for CHP out here and he’d be disgusted to see this.
cops have fought in court to have the right to skip any heroics when there is speed traps or other civil asset forfieture type banditry to be had. CHP are scum, preying on hard working truckers.
They said the guy was a “sheriff”, so his valid excuse is that the freeway is not his jurisdiction. However, he still could have got on his PA, turned on his siren, and told people to move.
EXCATLY
Thank you guys for helping out others. You didn’t need too but you did. You both are more of a hero than you you know.
Great Job 👏
As a company, you know where a truck is headed. Why in the world wouldn't they have turned these trucks around and headed them east until after this storm has passed. They have said for several days that this storm would dump enough rainfall in one day that they get in a year. I do not understand. Now ya got great men and women whom have been put in harms way. God bless you truckers.
I’ve run that highway for over 20 years. Never seen anything this bad. I’m up in the PNW now. Good luck to all those drivers down there.
Once again Brandon and Jonathan storm chasing, but there helping, doing everything they can to keep people safe.. so love to see them there...great coverage truly tells the story, as always & stay safe and thanks❤
Good coverage Brandon..Ya stay safe...
Great job waking these people up. I can't believe the Sherriff not doing anything. I was surprised to see Johnathan as your co pilot. I watch his channel he does a great job on weather and disaster stories.
Thanks for caring for other individuals Family you so special, God bless you both!!!!!
Thank you youngsters for waking up some of those boneheaded people! You put yourselves out on the line to wake them up and I thank you both! ❣️🥲
I send kudos to the caring truck drivers looking out for their fellow men truck drivers, alerting them to danger of the floods, may you all be safe, have peace and stay protected.❤✌🙏
God bless you for helping others!
Excellent drone footage ever❤
SIRENS -- could have got people awake and a chance to figure out what they needed to do !!! JUST like Hawaii but stupid law enforcement -- there for the paycheck not the job !! GOOD WORK GUY"s
Didn't the officials say "please stay off the roads?".... thx guys for the footage.
Truckers have things to do.
I'm also a truck driver who would like to add my thanks! Good call, guys.
Pretty bad night for a lot of people. They use snow plows the same way in coastal NH after storms bring gravel and rocks onto the coastal road. The noise is horrendous.
I take issue with the disaster response people who didn't think ahead about getting truckers off the road and to higher ground from the get go. And yes, that would be the sheriff among others.
good work waking people up, definitely saved people from getting stuck, maybe saved some lives too :)
Bless you. Thank you.
You guys did amazing reporting all day and night. Pretty gutsy.
You guys do a better job of reporting than the news stations. They never get out of their studios. Guess they might ruin their slinky dresses.
I come here for a real look at storms because news reporters tend to stand by a parking lot to report the rain. These guys are out there getting the real footage and helping people in the process too.
Heros. So awesome of you guys!
I love all the good guys
THANK GOD FOR Y'ALL..... SHAME ON THAT LOSER COP!!
Y'ALL ARE HEROES FOR REAL!! TRUCKERS ESPECIALLY ARE OUR LIFELINE..... YOU'D THINK THAT COP WOULD AT LEAST HAVE THAT MUCH SENSE!!
Nighttime compounds it. Those Mexican drivers appreciate you helping them get home to their families.
Paul Revere of the Flood Water! God Bless Y’all!
That deputy's response that it's not his problem is despicable.
doesn't want to be guilty of interfering with intrastate commerce. Regulations these days with electronic logs and all they move then have to reset break for 10 hours all over again.
Absolute crazy 🎉 hope all safe now. ❤
You all need a megaphone for times like this!
Good on you guys for saving countless lives! Besides the one officer where the neck was highway patrol???? God bless you both.
Semoga bencana cepat berlalu dan tidak ada korban jiwa
Being in Florida my whole life you have no idea how much and how fast water comes. You have any clue if there's even a road under that water. All these poor people don't have knowledge of the dangerous things that come these storms. Heartbreaking to watch this and to have authorities not to concerned that is frightening in its self. God bless you guys and god bless everyone in California.
Strmchasers saving Lifes in every Way. Thanks for helping to getting the truckers aware of the situation.Also useful is having a CB Radio in car to notify the Drivers. I read somewhere , in the Comments of a Chase Video from Daniel , someone allways listens and can inform colleges. They are legal to have without Radio Licence.They thankful somebody tell them.
crazy
Incredible!
Thankyou again .been watching you slot . I am staying home .
That officer should be sent to desk duty. What an a-hole. He took an oath to protect and serve.
They all seemed to be fine. The water wasn't that high. I would have kept sleeping too😂
Here in the Midwest it floods often enough the we have learned,, some of us anyway to not drive into moving water as it washes out the roads and you will get washed away when you drive into the hole, I sure there will be some of that there. cars also stall when the water gets into the engine.
You're right, we know this stuff, but today in Wisconsin we're looking at a Heat Index of 113F, which I've never seen before. I suspect people won't do nearly as well at taking THIS seriously! I'm afraid we'll have our own spate of deaths today and tomorrow.
Thank you so much for caring… you two are amazing human beings…🥹
From the description..."Thousand Oaks" or Thousand Palms? Thousand Oaks is along the 101 west of LA.
Thousand Palms is a desert city on the I-10 freeway.
What the heck - people were told the hwys would be bad. Drama that was avoidable.
I would have thought you guys had the CB
How people sleep through something like this is beyond belief.
OK, there was a very strong flood warning and everybody was told to stay off the roads... seemed like nobody listened!
Wow thankyou . They dont use cb like they use to and should .
What do we pay the ive never heared that what is going on with the cOpps.
All the C had to do was turn on his siren to wake people up .
I dont know maybe people are just overwhelmed .
Absolute mess. The weather has prevented me from going to work in Desert Hot Springs. The 10 freeway looks like a riverbed. I have co-workers who are stuck in their neighborhoods all over Palm Springs that the boss called off work for today. I'm sure the area around my workplace is even worse since it's surrounded by the desert sand.
Great job! Wow! Alot of truckers are middle eastern...so not sure if spanish would help. I've been in my Motorhome for over 15 months full time and have seen the good, the bad & the ugly out on these roads. Everyone needs to slow down #1 and let others merge #2 be kind overall.
Plenty speak Spanish because they're Mexican or from other Spanish speaking countries. A family member of mine worked for a company where the majority of the truckers spoke primarily Spanish.
The truckers are out of hours during the flood, they can’t go anywhere. San Diego is my home and currently I’m 2700 miles away from home in the Florida Keys delivering beers in Keywest.
Oh man. This video is a lot. Wake Up indeed.
CHP and National Guard should have been on the ground B4 this 😖
They were
Thanks to government for defending the police..
wonder how the 15 to the 40 faired, thats my prefered route east.
Just a thought, why are the intersections everywhere so much lower than the streets? Hmmmmmmm?
He is wearing his headphones to blockout noise, lol.😢
i wear my headphones the same Way, ANC is the best for noise senstive people. You still hear people talk but stuff like Fans are blocked
Hope you guys are okay too. How can these truckers sleep so soundly and not hear anything.
I have a family member who is a lifelong trucker. They get used to sleeping through honking because plenty of times they stop to sleep in their trucks and there's honking going on from passing traffic. Sometimes they drive long hours so they're exhausted too. The patrol car siren had a better chance of waking them up but the deputy didn't care to do even that.
Nice job. Paul Revere would be proud of you. Not surprised about the cop. Have had a couple bad experiences. Y`all get an extra slice of raisin pie.
I think some of you all dont understand desert flash floods...not the same as the midwest (lived a long time in the midwest but from cali)...deserts are dry, but cant soak up the water as fast as it falls...it finds a river, canyon, depression and pours out of the mountains...big mountains
My moms car got taken outside of Vegas about 25yrs ago, she got lucky, but it hadnt rained within 50mi of her, but did in the mountains, hit her without warning
And a tropical storm has never hit Cali in my lifetime...and as for the truckers come one, we all have had that boss...went anaphylactic at work one time...boss called the er to see if i was coming back to finish my shift....js
Wonder what it was like on I-8
You all are heroes...I hope you are blessed beyond belief...ps, that sherrif was about as useful as a Uvalde cop in a school shooting...
I said what I said
I take that exit to go to college of the desert, Hope it clears up by next Monday when school starts.
i hope you guys got the Sheriff's name or vehicle ID to report for neglect of his duty.
iNTERSTATE 10 needs to be built as a long bridge over that area
3 inches of rain over a 40 sq mile area is over 2 billion gallons of water, all flowing to the lowest point.
I don’t know about the states out west, but in the two states on the east coast I know of, the Sheriffs have no authority on the interstate.
It would have been nice if he’d run his siren, though.
God bless you guys for your help you are Good Samaritans and that sheriff is stupid lazy and scared don’t deserve the badge
how did that crew cab GMC Denali Pick up truck over turn?
You'd be surprised. Those big trucks are a lot more top-heavy than you'd expect. When I've been out driving in blizzards in Wisconsin, in a car with 2-wheel drive and a 4-cylinder engine, I can't tell you how many big trucks and full-size SUVs I've seen spun off into snowbanks. The assumptions people make about their big trucks are all wrong; drive faster because you're heavier? Nope. Physics is NOT a guideline, lol.
Can they use CB to tell truckers???
All highway closed I-10, I-15, I-40 , I-8 closed road highway flood all closed
5:45 STOP
You are really American Hero,👍👏👏👏. You should be US president or Governor.⁉️🤔
All that water goes to the ocean, must be a way to get a good use of some of it.
You might install a PA to help in the future and consider honking SOS in morse code, not that many would know it anymore
A lot of the damage could have been prevented if they had only got on her email page for timely updates...
👍🏾
ll it’s
summer can’t wait for winter
😮😮😮
I'm sure glad I retired from truck driving
Ok I’m going to start blowing the horn, tell me when you’re filming.
Sheriff couldn’t sound his siren and use his PA to alert the truckers? I think a police siren followed by a loudspeaker announcing the need to evacuate would get everyone’s attention. But nah, shift’s over. Not my problem.
Why ever time a disaster 18 wheelers be on the road back up from miles? They didn’t get the warning?
"Interstate 10 will likely be closed for a considerable amount of time and is the main link between #losangeles and #lasvegas"🤦~ Las Vegas isn't anywhere near Interstate 10. 🙄 This is between LA and Phoenix.
Sigalert that monitors freeways from cameras along the freeway shows traffic moving on I-10 through the desert cities again at 11pm 8/21. Some lanes are closed, but most traffic through this desert area is going 60-65 mph
Applause. 😶.
Respectively.
