En mi país España, también la tenemos. Se tuvo que aprobar esta ley, porque cuando aún no existía esa ley, mucha gente estupida salía a la montaña cuando precisamente, se pronosticaba, frío y copiosas nevadas, y en una de esas ocasiones, el rescate de esas personas estupida, le costó la vida a tres rescatistas, que precisamente fueron a sacar a un grupo de personas, perdidos por la montaña, en pleno Pirineo Catalán Desde entonces, todos los rescates por imprudencia de las personas, van a cuenta del rescatado. Ha sido la única solución, para poner un poco de cordura en personas que solo, miran por pasarlo bien al límite y no piensan en que si las cosas van mal, no es solo su vida la que está en peligro, es también la de las personas que van a rescatarlas. No es broma cada rescate de esta clase le cuesta al rescatado de 8000 a 15000 €. Y parece que tocando el bolsillo de estas personas, se ha podido poner freno a tanta estupidez humana...!!!

Yes. This video illustrated one reason why this might actually be more tricky than I'd have guessed, presumably when the road runs roughly parallel with the creek or waterway. The flood waters first appeared to rise from the left side of the camera view, but shortly afterward the creek apparently overtopped its banks somewhere off-screen to the right. This was when the largest amount of water appeared.

These cars are driving way too fast for road conditions.

Doesn't look like a proper creek flood. Just, a road flood. Runoff. Take a close look at that drain, bottom left of screen. It's non-operational. When it fills up, you can't see any suction towards it. Stagnant water, like a clogged toilet. Post10's videos have never been so relevant. (He unclogs drains with rakes.)

Wow. Really reminds me of the carpenteria California mud slides that dislodged thousands of tons of boulders and killed a bunch of people on the hillsides a few years back. All the rain during that storm also happened in about ten minutes as well. Difference was that b/c of previous fires burning the vegetation on the hillside, there was nothing left to hold the boulders to the mountain. So in that few minutes everything came flooding down.

This video appears to show just a street flood!

In the beginning of this video you can see a drain just to the left of the mailbox - this drain hardly does a thing with the water. The city / county needs to go in and check / clear all these streets / sewer drains.

Apparently one of the first responders suffered a broken leg after stepping off a retaining wall, where the view was presumably obscured by flood waters.

The way the road flooded so fast with a simply rain storm appears to indicate another Darwin Award of poor design and run off. Both sides are hills forcing water down to the road and likely the drains underneath were never sufficiently wide enough to cope with the run off for the terrain.

The problem is all the construction of parking lots and buildings up stream… the water rushes into the creek now. Murphy candler lake use to be designed to prevent flash flooding… not anymore.

All i can say is, WOW!

Drives into flooded roadway like they are certain it is only 3” deep, hauls butt, soaks airfilter with wake and stalls car. Proceeds to sit in stalled car for long time as 3” of water only gets deeper. But i guess we had the luxury of knowing it wasnt very deep as we watched it flood.

In this video they show how to hydro lock your motor. Lol once water makes it to the air intake the filter isn't stopping it the water goes thur the intake pipe past the filter right into the intake manifold to the top of the piston. Then the pistons that can't take the pressure from all the water being forced in break and get jammed in a way that the motor locks up. Which could have been avoided by not driving thur high water in a little car.

yes flooded forget it. that said the wheels show the depth , what 40cm at max the speed may be the main cause of engine cut out. put in depth indicators!!! in driving rain I did not see a river washing over a road a 1000cm deep caused by a new school car park were idiots did the flood and hydraulics calculations. You get a lot of this in Australia it was deep enough to wash me away and strong enough. I was in a JZA80 supra in a suburb of Brisbane and it was 11:30 pm pitch black with head lights coming towards me so why think I'm driving into my death? The head lights were of a person who had just pulled off a U-turn and do you think they flashed or stuck around? A holes! I cam to a stop 50 m into a 100m flow, I lowered my drivers side window to be met by splashing water into my face, at the same time the water pressure was turning my car to face its flow. I had driven this road home a thousand time and never ever seen water even over the road but I knew this was as real as its ever going to get. Water was racing up and over my windscreen and roof at speeds that escape out the window was futile. Like in the movies I thought "Game over" But to this day I do not understand the 2 j engine was still running . I dropped the clutch and gave her every thing and she tried to go into the torrent and I felt her being pushed down from the flood water, then like the shark out of Jaws she launched up out of the waters into the air landing on the centre Island and I floored it to high ground. If I can tell you one thing its that I am alive because of Toyota . Thank you. if you see it dont go in it, if you don't stay calm, its your best hope panic kills...
