Flash flood

This is an older video, but it represents what can happen in just a moment. If told to evacuate by authorities, DO IT!

  • when we first went to az during the winter I could not understand why the hwy dept paved roads that rolled so much, now I understand why. I could never understand why when told to get out of dodge so many people think they can ride out a disaster like the last storm Florida had. people tell me that people can't or don't have the money to evacuate. I think I would walk out if I was told to get out. I've had to go around while I was on the fire dept and tell people it was time to leave and we went back in and got the bodies out. It was very horrible to say the least. it always reminded me of Harry Truman up on the side of MT ST. Helens
  • look at the sky. Partly cloudy.

    Debris clogs up a narrows in an arroyo

    It dams water until pressure breaks the dam

    And that is why the gush of water.

    Stay at least twenty feet away from the edge of the bank. Sandy soil gets undercut and huge sections of sand bank are swallowed whole.
