It doesn't matter if those kids think they are on solid rock or not, that water could be eroding the under belly of the area they are standing on. Very dangerous.

@charlietow

A few of my friends tried that in a smaller one... didn't work out very well. Logs, rocks, mud. Broken kayaks and muddy eyes.

[charlietow]

@rankinstudio ouch!

This reminds me of how our lives shouldn't be taken granted, cause they can easily slip beneath the depths.

0:49 You can see the anvil head (thunderstorm cloud in the sky, top center) which probably produced the rain that caused this flood flow.

1:50 Excellent footage of a bank collapse.

Ah.. you're right, these videos are better. Good stuff. It's amazing how powerful these are for something that comes out of no where. No wonder they're dangerous.

Have You Ever Thought About Getting In A Boat And Riding Down One? I Would Pay To See That

[RevSvc17]

Frankly, it looks delicious. A giant frothy cascading mass of water. Looks like something out of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory

Why does this happen, where does this water is not raining? This is a tsunami, it is very wonderful! Man, how nice! You should not cut the film in half, shooting enough.

@pertencoacristo

These floods happen because intense rainfall hits the drainage basin many miles up stream. The creek is usually dry. A big thunderstorm can dump a few billions of gallons of water in less than 2 hours. All of this water is then sent cascading down the wash and shows up how you see it in the video.

I edit the film down to limit size and give a good preview of the best parts. I have over 30 minutes of video from this flood.

Cheers,
