Flash flooding in camp creek
Фильм және анимация
Flash flooding carrying a wall of debris down camp creek. 31st and Valley rd foot bridge. Colorado Springs CO, August 10th.The creek is usually just a trickle, unless it rains. It runs out of the mountains above town and into a concrete channel that runs about 7 blocks and into a bigger stream.In 2012 the Waldo Canyon fire burnt the vegetation around the creek, which causes this kind of flooding when there are heavy rains over the burn area and no vegetation to slow the water. I was driving near the ditch and saw the wall of water moving in front of me. I managed to pass it and run out on to the bridge in time to get this video. It had hardly rained at all where this video took place and the trickle of water turned into a torrent in an instant. This is why you shouldn't play in ditches.

its really scary, if you get hit, its not just water you have to fight through, but all the crap it picks up on the way. I saw a video of a flash flood that was rolling boulders like they were toothpicks. mother nature can be terrifying sometimes
Surprisingly small amount of debris. Nice work keeping the upstream clear.

That's how gold moves in gold bearing creeks. It's heavy and doesn't move much until there is significant flow. Also mudslides and erosion move new gold bearing material from the surface into the creeks and rivers where it stratified and collects under rocks, in crevices and along bends in the river according to its specific gravity.

Есть такое предположение, что выше по течению была бобровая плотина, которую смыло водой или которая была разрушена. Очень уж этот мусор похож на строительный материал бобров.

I can see that the authorities do not maintain that channel drain, these shrubs grow between the concrete surface it weakens breaks, and lead to a deterioration inexcusable.
@Woody615

I suspect that clearing the channel is easier said than done. I live in So Calif and we have the same issues in our flood control channels. (I used to work for the Dept. of Public Works.) It's usually a matter of $$$. This looks like a very small channel so I suspect it is probably very low on the totem pole for money to maintain it. Besides, after this flow, there probably won't be very many shrubs left along the sides anyway.
