- Flash flood and mini-debris caught on camera flow up close in Wahweap Wash just outside of Big Water, Utah on July 15, 2018! Notice the pine cones and other debris from the higher elevation terrain, 25 miles north from where this flood originated.
The Wahweap Hoodoos is a popular hiking destination and the name of a beautiful rock formation in Big Water, Utah, that’s anywhere from 100-160 million years old. The white hoodoos are created from the erosion of Dakota sandstone, as well as Entrada Sandstone. The trail, however, is known to be remote and is prone to occasionally flash flooding. While there is usually higher ground that can be accessed, it’s best to be safe and watch the weather report, as flash floods can be dangerous as they move quickly!

It looks and moves exactly like a basalt lava flow. Amazing!
Oddly captivating. I’m glad your friend was not “killed” at the end (lol). Well done.
Held the camera pretty steady considering he was running alongside the mudflow going about 4mph or so. Good video.
No. Just don’t get IN the water. It’s really dangerous
Maiarien $$z. X
He's fine
There is something so satisfying watching all that earth being toiled around like that then the water eventually becomes cleaner and cleaner... Maybe I'm just crazy but it really is satisfying to watch.
A LIKE from me -especially because you were having so much fun filming. I didn't expect him to step right into the flow like that. I probably wouldn't have done that: You never know if it will suddenly become a roaring deluge..? Some good shots too and well timed.
One thing you learn in the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts is you never Camp any wash ever ever ever ever or on the edge
Ever.
Maybe this is more well known in the west, but we never learned this in the Midwest
Well, **modern** Boy Scouts let us **choose** to identify it as a wash, or any other thing we feel it could be.
(Let's not stick to narrow-minded thinking!)
Que es lavado 🥶🏠😙
ياالله لا تفوتنا الجمعه
It looks just like a lava flow but the wrong color.
That’s because water and lava are the same substance (a liquid) + it is making even more like lava because the wood is making it look like the molten lava travelling.
@Sergio Malachi nice scam
@@kam2894 Right? Plus I'm sure both of those posters are the same people. Also, why would they want to hack their girlfriend's Instagram account? Slimy on all levels.
@@ptuffgong8504 they are the same, i’ve seen the same automated 2 comments many times
@@kam2894 Me too.
That close up was freaking awesome!!!!!
All fun and games until you slip and loose your footing.
I saw one like that one November when I was in Page. It had fully grown cottonwoods floating down it. Saw another one in the Left Fork of North Creek in Utah Give them great respect.
Cool. Quite a slurry there. Interesting water channels in the wash.
All that mass at the beggining of the flood is excelent for gardening and growing plants 👌👌👌👌👌
Thank god for the commentary, I wasn't sure where it comes
Looks like fast moving lava, but its mud.
Before UA-cam came along,people had enough sense to stay away from this kind of thing.
Good point, Cheese Dick.
@@L0j1k I didnt realize that was Op's name I thought you were insulting someone LOL
Nice profile pic
The inner child comes out of them ☺ good fun chasing this
It begins so smooth, then within 5 minutes hell can break loose
Usually it's more like 2 minutes
But the video is only 2.24 minutes.
Why such a short video ? Did the photographer filming him need to chase down some of the body
parts that got cut off by some sharp debri ?
Professional photography ..... Thank you Reed for this special coverage you are creative I wished to be among you
That was a kinder gentler flash flood.
That bulldozed muck is super for gardening compost.
That is the craziest thing I ever seen saw whatever. That dude walking through it oh my goodness
I've seen tonne of these videos and lot of them were from Utah. Any reason for this? Seems like it's regular over there.
it has a high elevation and is northerly. make sit more prone to strong monsoon storms, like arizona
I live in Utah, and it is definitely because we receive a very severe monsoon season annually. We also have many slot canyons and slick rock desert that water can easily just run over and not soak into the ground. The terrain is so dry here, and vegetation is pretty sparse besides cactus and yucca so there is nothing to hold the water back as it goes to the lowest point.
I enjoyed this, up to the point where he actually waded into the water. Sorry, but that is not smart at all. Depending on how fast the water is moving and how fast it is rising, ankle deep water (or more) can knock you off your feet and you could quite possibly drown. Don't take chances like this!
napathon1 dude the water was so damn slow oh my god I would get it if it was actually rushing but no. lol
Let the idiot do what he wants and don't get your panties in a bunch.
@@jordanozman8360 Well like you say let the idiot do what he wants because one day he will show off once too many times, lol & behold hurt or worse still numb nuts.
@@jordanozman8360 Thin the herd
@@1sadsexually2sadsexually54 Another problem is it carries a lot of debris including sharp stuff. It's very easy to get cut, and since that water is first run off it carries a lot of pathogens offering the chance of all kinds of infections.
That was cool, ty 4 sharing.
You may laugh, play in it, think that it's not that big of a deal.. but the power and force in these floods are extreme and you walking in it just shows how stupid move that was.
He's a professional. He knows what he's doing clearly you don't.
@@imSpo0kizm and clearly even professional can kill him self they are still humans they aint god lol
Based on the shallowness and volume its a day at the beach.
Oh please using a vending machine is more dangerous than what they did.
Imagine the processing power of the Matrix to render all this for two people.
BEST footage ever - you either know what you are doing or you are absolute nutters !
Nutters showing kids how to die in a flood
Our friends die in such a flood, last weekend in Madagaskar... A hole family with a two years old... It is so dangerous and this video is sooooo extrem stupid... Next time you can swim there just for likes... Stupid
GF: he may be cheating me
Le Boys: Catching flash flood
Imagine flood meets lava 🌋
lava meets ocean
no dangerous critters amongst it then , like snakes or scorpians being washed away!!??
John Patman oh fuck! probably!
Definitely happens, we just don't see it.
deserve a big like by putting life at risk and filming such thing for us
This is so dangerous. You're lucky you lived to post this video.
Thank you for the considerable efforts of the bug Reed
The sound these things make is so satisfying
Agreed. The smell is so distinctive too
You are living dangerously, Life on the line with these things
Mr DDD3az Yes, it is easy to get complacent around something like this. But that is dangerous.
Meu Deus! De onde sai tanta lama?
When you see a flash flood coming you run for your life even if it looks small you don't get close to record it
Too close for comfort but good job 👍
great video
When you can't make it to Pamplona Spain for running with the bulls
It's like a living, breathing entity that is both beautiful and destructive. It commands respect. We must get out of it's way.
2:07 it's not as powerful as I imagined it would be.
Why he go in. Is it not hot or how
@@Jake.The.Snake. agree
2:07 bohooooooohh do it without shoes ! awesome video
You can certainly see how this "grit laden" rushing water can grind and polish the stream bed rocks, over time, as these flash floods repeat over centuries of time. Doctor George Whitehead
That guy getting in was - well - it could have been ugly.
THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO
❤💕MEMORYSTAR 💕❤
Finally! A flash flood video that's actually fun to watch, especially when dude steps right into it, near the end of the video!
As you said in the description, but T-Shirt guy doesn't stick to that...
This made me instantly want Cookies & Creme ice cream
Looks amazing but scary
That is so crazy flood
Do it! - It's great! - Famous last words.
The legendary @rankinstudio
Fooling around in an arroyo like that is not smart
There could have been a log rolling around in all that.
it's these fools that the emergency people have to go out and rescue
Really great hatsapp miracle TQ to send this lovely nature flowing water coming really great hatsapp u all, nice video lovely flowing i love nature 👌💐🤝👍🍰😍🙏
You man crazy😬
Sucks this is all dirt never trust walk in dry river like this mercy god years ago my uncle gone disapaired like this after work never came jome his body didn't found he had one daughter after that wife & daughter died too God didn't want suffered them
Yasmine Nazarine so sorry this happened to your family 😢.
How can we reverse this soil flow from ocean back to the land,
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Looks wet to me.
Сила природы.
In India when the waters of big dry rivers begin to flow like this the womenfolk offer their prayers in this first flow for it represents the life giving water for fields and humans alike.
What’s going on? Are they trying to revive the soil or something?
The flash flood looks like Oreo ice cream
Reminds me of a truck stop restroom bout an hour after lunch...🥺
The Ankh on the Sto Plains approaching Ankh Morpork.
( Terry Pratchett's Discworld series ).
Awwwww....he ruined his shoes....
It's okay, they looked like white dad shoes anyway.
Where did they bury the survivors?
Rio de lama! Onde desemboca isso?
Nice video 👍
The name of the city reminded me of one of Borat's lines.
A lot of these have thousands of little pebbles under the head of water that can sweep you off your feet.
Pas malin de patauger dedans... Vous avez quel âge ??
Is it me,or does it look good enough to eat,like the top of a Chocolate gateau/cake lol.
Dangerous with all of that Debri.....
These guys don't win any merit badges for being intelligent. You need a healthy respect for moving water in that situation .
whate did you do?
Do you get Adsense money?
💵
Shit is terrifying. Water is no joke. Moving water is even worse. Moving Water full of dirt rocks and branchs-trees. No thank you I'll stay in the hills.
That's what you call a real shitstorm.
Wow a video where Reed isn’t screaming like a girl.
That's awesome. I want to witness something like this safely one day
Is that Rankinstuido in the video with you?
It sure is! He taught me everything I know about flash floods
@@ReedTimmerWx I've been digging his ff videos for a long time. Love it... I'm going to be applying for a grant to develop a low cost flash flood warning system for rural areas that, when completed, will be entirely open source and 100% free for anyone to use. Always interested in more brains and collaborators in the room. DM's open. Take care and be safe.
How can you call a river following its course "FLOOD" . Flood is when water take over places where it shouldn't
Right, such as a dry desert basin. "FLOOD" is whenever water goes someplace it isn't normally found.
There's water in that lot somewhere.
again where is the rock wall dam that could have held some of that fresh water ...allowing it to soak into the land
These are the same kind of people who would want the cavalry to mobilize and risk all to save their dumb asses.
It's nothing compared to Uttarakhand Flash Flood in2013,which killed thousands of people in just one flash
It's all fun and games until the tornado comes down and sucks up that debris flow and turns it into a big huge snowball of muck and chucks it straight at your head! Don't mess with nature!!!!!!11!!!!!1!!!!!! MY NAME IS DEBRA!!!!!1!!!1!!!!
_+_ Thanks for sharing
Nature's amazing, isn't it?? :)
How dare he did
HE GOT IN!!! what's his YT page?
@rankinstudio is his page. Insane flash flood content over there
Да... Не каждому такое дано видеть. Прикольно.
Omg the man he walk over it wow he must know exactly what gojn on brother
It moves like a snake 🐍 and I only LIKE 👍 and COMMENT cos you stepped right into the mud my friend....don't care if it 3 years ago.
O lixo que vem ao principio e tão espesso que parece lava!!
Looks foolish to step into that. So unnecessary. Glad he wasn’t hurt.
That is disturbingly entertaining to watch hahaha!
rich soil,
harvest joy
How is the eater come from.
Убегай от туда !
Там опасно !
