Some people called the recent floods a once in a century event. It is sad for the destruction of the man-made things, but that flooding is what makes valleys, mud flats, salt deposits, hoodoos, etc. I would have loved to see it - imagine one of those boulders as big as a Volkswagen being moved down the wash!

Yeah, that would be neat to see AS LONG AS YOU WEREN'T _IN_ THAT WASH, TOO. That's the thing, of course, those of us from less parched lands often do not recognize washes when they are dry. I saw some videos recently of a flash flood coming down a wash near Colorado City, AZ, and it was pretty impressive as that wall of water swept through, followed by floating SUVs, logs, and other debris.
