    I loved this video!! I am a Native Arizonan so flash floods are in my blood. I don't think the average person realizes how dangerous and sudden they are. But, thank God for the rain, we can maintain a very large population in a desert because of the tributaries and the runoff into larger waterways!! Thank you for sharing this footage, we'll done!

    I saw a video of a family driving through a canyon to park up and take a hike, but it started to rain and flash flood. The family quickly got back into their vehicle, and started to drive back out, but the waters were getting deeper and deeper, so the father decided to drive onto a small elevated island and wait it out. As they sat in the vehicle waiting, they saw another family in a compact car floating backwards in the flood waters, they slammed into an overhang of rocks, but they were actually saved from getting stuck because of the force of the waters pushing them. Rescue had gotten to the family stuck on an elevated island, the mom and kids were flown out by helicopter, while the dad waited for an all terrain vehicle to pull his truck back onto the road. It was an AMAZING story, just look on KZread for the family stuck in Utah's national canyon.

    I've seen lots of these. I grew up on a hillside that had a wash running through the valley. Whenever it would rain a lot, we'd all ride our bikes down to see how much the wash had come up once it wasn't raining too hard. I've seen the water eroding at the banks of the wash several times and even lapping at the bottom of the bridge.

    I've seen Arizonan rains, and it was pretty intense. Nothing compared to a couple of years ago in southern Utah, that was apocalyptic. Blinding rains, ice, high wind gusts. I was reduced to driving 20 mph on the 15, and the only reason I stayed on the road was because of the trucker right in front of me. I think some hikers bought the farm in the canyons nearby. Thank goodness for Beaver, UT.
