Reed said that was from 3" of rain. I live in the Southeast and we have had 6" of rain at times without any MAJOR issues. This is fascinating to me and would love to have had a job like Reed's but would not have liked time away from family and staying in creepy inns.

Interesting flow dynamics. When the surge is traveling over a nearly dry stream bed the friction between the water and the bed gravels is enough to slow the flow so that the surface is traveling faster than the base, bringing the debris plug to the head of the flow, but when the surge front hits a deeper pool the basal velocity increases until the water flow starts to outpace the debris plug that is slowing down the surface of the flow, and the debris plug slightly disperses and follows the surge front..

Videos like this flesh out the plain printed word not to mention they are portraits of nature's beauty and power.

That is why these are called washes. They can go from dry to 5 feet deep in a matter of minutes.

Awesome drone footage. Clearly view of fluid dynamics. You can easily see how the path has been followed many times before and what causes the debris to fall out. Spectacular video for high school earth science classes. A real gem thank you

That area of Utah is desert dear. I know Washington has large arid regions too, but it gets more snow and rain than most of Utah. They are getting hit with record high temps just like you. Except theirs are generally higher. This is a flash flood. Not long after the rain in the distant hills stops the only water in the wash will be standing water. No flowing water. Look at how the wash looked like ahead of the flash flood.

Very interesting. Great footage. Heartbeat track nice touch. These things are so amazing. Thanks.

Where I grew up we had a creek that ran through town and when summer rain would come we would put our ear to the ground and hear the flood water coming.

The monsoon experts predicted months ago that the 2021 monsoon season was gonna be a dud.

Interesting to watch the erosion process and see how the spectacular canyons and landscape of the high deserts came to be.

A few high drone aired shots back upstream to show the amount and size of this flash flood would of been interesting .

When I lived in southern Arizona I loved monsoon season and in my area the washes where pretty tame and me n the hog would walk them in like 6” of water he loved it doing all the crazy spins etc . The only problem was he was a white dog and would be orange by the end of our time playing . Always fascinated by water n rivers. After az I moved to white mountains NH and that was awesome got to see Irene and wow giant trees everywhere from the water just absolute power

Very cool intercept! Thanks great footage!

At 8:24, was it just a windy day or is the wind created by the force of the flash flood? I find UT/AZ flash floods fascinating! On the east coast, a flash flood is a much different (and more docile) creature. I learned on my trip out west, weather events have varying significance depending on what part of the country you're in. Definitely keep your eye on the weather north (upstream) of you when you're in desert/canyon areas!

great video! Thanks for sharing

Are there catchments for any of this water where it maybe could soak into the ground for the aquifers ?

That so looks likes a dark huge snake or worm just snaking along, up until the waterfall. Had a dam fail once and the water came through my home town... luckily not too much flooding (they had the river lining sand-bagged by the time it hit, thank goodness - though sadly, 1 guy slipped into the water while bagging and was never found, pray for him), but it was the only time I saw water on Broadway bridge (& it had a deep drop beneath it from the falls that literally vanished, til the water level wnet back to normal. Trippy.
