  • We came across this minor flash flood in Palo Duro Canyon. Do not try this. Normally flash floods are very dangerous; however, we had come across this surge farther upstream and knew that it was minor. Even with that we made sure that we had an escape route out of the channel at all times.
    Video taken on my HTC Titan. We were only going out for a short hike and left all of the nice cameras at home. So I did what I could with what I had. Lesson learned: never go to PDC without your cameras!

    A flash flood should be defined as something more than this. Like, "a surge of water at least 12 inches deep, moving at least 10 mph". People may get the idea from videos like this, that flash floods are not that big a deal.

    "CHASED"??.. didn't look like it was in a hurry to "catch"you. I'm sure you probably meant well, but with that intro and that end result, you really should be embarrassed to upload this.. next time just say it's a nice video (which it is) of a small current of semi-rapid flow stream water and let it go at that. You're quite welcome.

    That's cool watching the water like that... but um... I've taken more violent showers... so perhaps "flash flood" is a touch out of perspective... maybe Trickle Tickle... Slow Flow... Puddle Jumper... something like that would be more appropriate. I've been in a gorge during a flash flood, and my uncle almost died from one in the same gorge.. they're scary, dangerous and nothing to be trifled with. We were fortunate and heard the echo about two minutes before the water started rising.. got up about 12 feet on the bank with little time to spare. It had poured for a few minutes about 20 miles upstream, and we didn't know it... didn't take long to figure it out though. The water only rose maybe 3 feet, but the current was vicious for a few minutes before it calmed down. Easily could have been deadly. So your video is cute and all, but far from what the title says my friend.

      Actually it came from a heavy rain storm just W of the park. The main stream had been dry for several months before and we had just finished a short hike. On our way out we encountered water over water crossing # 5 but water crossing #4 was dry. Considering 4 is just upstream of 5 we thought that was odd. We hiked around and found that the side stream from Capital Peak was the source. The water was 2-3 feet deep and very fast in that smaller stream. So we went back to water crossing #6, which was still dry, and started hiking upstream to find the front of the flash flood. We actually weren't sure how fast this thing was coming at us, but we were confident that we could climb out fast enough in a worst case scenario. As it ended up, the speed was quite slow in the much wider main stream.
