Great job. No music, no "WOW" from people. Just the sound of mother nature doing her thing. A+ :)

Growing up camping and being out in nature I thought I knew what a "flash flood" was. Seeing these amazing videos showed me just how little I knew. I love the drone footage. Great way to follow the massive amount of,water and destruction. Thank you.

This is the best recorded flash flood I've seen so far, covers the flood in almost all angles.

Time spent in the Utah deserts is good for humans. Brings things into perspective. Thank you for the video!

This footage from the drone is off the charts. Well done!

I'd like to see some videos on where these flash floods with debris end up. River, lake, ocean, where ever. Seeing how the debris flow ones disperse when they empty into a body of water would actually be great.

The ones here in central AZ ( Agua Fria river and New River both hit the salt river , but the Agua Fria hits Lake Plesant, the water fills the basin with water and debris. There are lots of wood in there .

I'll never have enough of your videos... Thanks for sharing them!...

The sound of all the wood cracking as is stresses and hits each other, its so ominous. I love this video. AWESOME catch!

Had to go back and be sure this was drone footage and not some crazy person out in the channel running for his life ahead of the wave😀 great footage.

I love your work! Natures energy is so captivating. I can't imagine being there, it has to be pretty humbling though. I once was witness to a large rock slide in the Sierras Near Yosemite. Boulders the size of cars and large Pine trees snapping like tooth picks. It was incredible, but I have to say I have never felt so small and weak as that moment. Thanks for sharing your work!

The drone shots really add to these videos, the footage is so good. Thanks for sharing these!

David, you've outdone yourself! Your flash flood videos have always raised the hair on my neck. Awesome! (retired, Flood Control District of Maricopa County)

realmente incrível, a melhor filmagem de enchente que eu já vi .... parabéns pelo video

LOve the drone footage, just following the face of that flow. pretty cool.

Just watched your vid from 2013 today and thought I BET THIS GUY WILL GET A DRONE ONE DAY. Yee- YUP! Nicely Done.. or should I say Nicely Drone...

I have been watching your videos on and off as you've added them...I guess for the past 2-3 years maybe? I love flash floods. Looks like you do, too. Nice to see someone actually chase them to get footage.

I like the way you caught a lot of moving fronts. Also the aerial views were spectacular. And the video was on the shorter side. Good work!

This is one of very few videos where the name is not an exaggeration of the flood! And no stupid music.

Bloody great videos mate. Thanks for sharing them all!

At 0:35 a couple standing on edge filming in coming flood. They seem to ignore their own precarious position - the earth could just collapse under their feet with the force of onrushing waters and logs of wood.

Yup standing too close to the edge is not a good idea. The white jeep was parked too close as well

Fantastic work. thank you so very much.

how about going to the place where the flood drops the debris. is there simply a mountain of rubble or what?

Impressive! You must have supreme confidence in your drone's reliability - either that or you film praying that it won't lose power right over the flow!

How often does this happen. never have seen one before. I live on a hill

Love the drone footage. Looks like you have a little more company than normal.

Catch some videos of snow melt flash floods in Switzerland! It will scare the shjt out of u!

Southern Utah covers a lot of territory. Where in southern Utah did this occur?

Awesome footage from about 1:23 onwards. Most of your videos at least have the name of the stream where the flood is occurring. This one doesn't have a name. More complete and/or detailed location information about where you were when you filmed one of your videos would be valuable; something more than just the name of the wash/stream, i.e. what road you were near when you filmed, etc.

WOWSA that sure is a Monster debris flow!

Where does it end?and the debris what happens to it? We dont see this in Australia.

Having witnessed floods such as these in S. Utah myself, one of the things that is really hard to demonstrate in video is the SOUND of the debris field as it approaches and goes by in the first minutes. You can kind of hear it a little bit in this video but you really have to be there to know exactly what I mean. It's spine-chilling with all the cracking and popping of the wood as it's being ripped apart and tossed around, tumbling and scraping. Crack, crack, snap, snap, crack!

It feels like a jet is crash landing of a small earthquake , I have seen stranded cottonwood logs that are 5-6 feet in diameter. A large piece of basalt was pushed 30 feet from one side of a crossing to another last flood we had , which was not as large as others in the past . The dynamics of rivers change after massive floods , our river has 3 channels in places some from mountains on the left bank, some from mountains in the east which are closer and force more water into the channel

Where does allthis Debri end up ?Does it dam up at the end

cool video. how hard is it to capture footage upstream in a narrower part of the canyon?

hi can ı use this only 5 second at my local public film.?

do they get bigger every year?

just beautiful!

Awesome! Another great capture. Thx.

Been waiting for such footage ever since you got the drone!! Totally awesome just as I thought it would be!! Thanks! Which river/creek/wash was it? (Only few drops in the afternoon in Escalante)

your videos are just awesome!....how long does this run of continue, before its normal river again?

Hey, Awesome videos, I'd think this would look amazing in 60fps.

Was this in the Big Water area -- it kind of looks like that area...

Great footage!!

I remember flash floods like this in SW New Mexico as a kid and young adult. It is scary how fast the water comes down these dried washes. Very dangerous .

Do these flash floods dissipate just as quickly?

rankinstudio THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MEMORYSTAR) 💕❤THANKS AGAIN ❤💕

Amazing! how do you manage to not get any sound from the drone whatsoever spill into the recording,? do you have the camera hanging on a long sick or something?

Really cool, liked the drone footage.

@peterf.229

The ones on the Agua Fria come suddenly and take time to slow and eventually dry out to a wash again. Inn2010 we got 13 inches of ram in two days , in January. It took 5 months for the flow of water to dry out . The flood was a result of the cave creek complex fire and a lot of rain. We had another flood in 2014 in August where storms trained in the valley between mountain ranges . Both times the river bridge in town was closed after water topped it . ( I live north of Phoenix in central AZ

we always see flood in action but we never see where all the debris ends up.. I am imagining a mountain of material stacked up on some alluvial fan. But where is it an what does it look like?

3 to 4 feet. Gravity keeps it from forming a huge "wall". Its more like a giant wave. Gets deeper quick as it passes.

Took an Economic Geography course in college. The professor told a story about someone who went to Arizona and bought land very cheap. Built a house on it and used it as a semi retirement place to go. A major storm hit and when the water from the mountains came down, the man's house was destroyed as he had been sold property in a dry riverbed. The prof said that anytime you purchase land, get a US Geophysical map of the area check it out to make sure your property won't be under water when a rainstorm hits.
