Ah, the wild lumber yard migration. A beautiful spectacle!

What absolutely amazes me is the total lack of plastic bottles and garbage in that! So amazing!

THANK YOU for shooting in LANDSCAPE mode! SO many people do portrait which is SO freakin' annoying for video. Cool footage!

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

That sweet relief when you've had too much cheese, followed by too much Taco Bell, & it finally breaks loose.

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.

Famous last words...
"We're good!"

Yeah, My grandparents had a farm about 3 or 4 miles away from a creek like this. It was mostly dry, until snow melted or it rained pretty hard on the hills where it was flowing from. All the neighbor kids knew about it and every time we saw rain approaching we would run to the creek to see it filling up. Pretty cool

[rander]

Scary to think of getting caught in that flow. I'm thinking it would grind you up in short order.

[texastrill]

The most famous of ALL "famous last words". "We're good".

[boydwhite]

Powerful, when it came around the bend it looked big enough to take out the bridge.

[mbrkinf]

The most important thing is that the bridge can withstand the pressure of water!

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.

0:28 Hicks with pick up trucks parking on the bridge and blocking traffic: "I not thinky much, can't park on shoulder. No other cars on this planet. Brain hurty, too much thinky."

[mikegreenberg]

Looks like a monster that came out of nowhere. Thanks for the video.

[FishingWorldhg]

Your videos are so good, so great.
really enjoy watching your videos.
Wish you lots of health and success 👍👍

As long as no one got hurt and nothing got damaged that’s pretty cool lol

[bbmw]

All the spectators there knew this was coming. Was this just rain in the mountain, or a scheduled upstream dam release?

[trentspears]

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.
