They're watching the upstream spillway from under the roadway bridge. Suddenly Godzilla mud monster appears over the upstream spillway and they're thinking "Hey, why don't we climb further on up the bank here". Yikes
Looking at this, I was just thinking, I used to be a hobby prospector, and sometimes used a small dredge in the river, but was blocked from doing that anymore because i might make the water cloudy, I though that was a little strange considering what mother mature does with things like this. LOL
Holy shit that intimidating at the start imagine being under the centre of the bridge and seeing that coming towards you I’d be scrambling to get to higher ground thinking “oh shit oh shit oh shit OH SHIIIT!!!”
That's outrageous footage. Looks like wet concrete with the biggest aggregate ever. One thing about being in front of that flow, you never know how far, fast, and high it could get. You DO have some historical high watermarks with the banks. I think you'd be darn near dead if you fell into that, you'd be beaten to crap with those rocks, fast.
Impressive stuff right there! I think some kind of documentation about the source(s) of these flows as well as how rivers are not completely dammed up would be interesting. Cheers!
@@viperus1234 On the other hand, being up close and personal where huge rocks are peeling away might not be a terribly comfortable recording environment. :-)
"Flood Fronts" in Australia would have thousands of dead trees, and ground litter at the front of any wave. Millions of tonnes would appear 10 metres high before you say any water. Gum trees lose their lower branches as they grow. That is why you see them all around the world. Firewood + Whole tree to mill.
The force of water is truly incredible, the size and weight of some of those rocks 😮 It just shows erosion in action and how over geological time scales whole mountains can wear away. Great vid, must have been awesome to be there 👍😎
What are the parameters that determine the periodicity of the flow surges? How do total flow volume, flow viscosity, particle size, % water to solids, clay percentage, etc govern the time between surge peaks?
That Debris have a lot of Power. I bet that you feel the rumble under your Feet. Thank you for Uploading. Where was this Event? When Rocks of this Size jumps you know there is much Energy behind.
Didn't felt my feet :) full of adrenalin :) but it is loud like a train rushing by - this is in switzerland - illgraben: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illgraben
In the American Southwest, you'll find dry washes all over the place. They're fascinating places, full of great cobbles, very inviting places for off-road driving and camping ... ... except. Let a thunderstorm blow up thirty miles upstream, far enough away that there's not a cloud in the sky where you are, and about an hour later the flash flood will hit. And when you're *in* the dry wash, there often isn't an easy or quick way for a vehicle to get out. That's why locals -- or anyone who's seen how fast a wash can fill with churning debris-laden water -- know that you don't hang out in a dry wash. You cross one quick. You drive along it up on the bank. You camp above it -- but you don't spend more time *in* it than you absolutely have to. Even if it's a hot dry day.

that was amazing to the youtuber who filmed this if it's possible i would like to see the source of all that debree . and where did end up . how long did it continue after the camera shut off. is there the potential for more from the same spot . and why is there so much of this happening
The source is the mountains you see in the background. During the winter the rock cliffs gets water down in the cracks and fissures that will freeze and cause huge rock slides and boulders to fall into the valleys, then come the spring thaw and rain all that water is channeled down into the waterways and build up speed and force as it descends. Looking at the foliage it looks like this happened in mid to late summer, so there wasn't as many rocks and boulders washed out in this one. The first ones in spring would sweep out all the debris that built up over the winter months, there would be way more rocks swept up in it, there weren't all that many boulders in this one.
You should never underestimate the power of nature, especially floodwaters, i mean do you actually know what is being carried along under all that murk with all that power?

The size of those boulders! Just pushed like a soccer ball. I really didn't know that a mud flow was so powerful. A river of water wouldn't do that to huge boulders.

What are the parameters that determine the periodicity of the flow surges? How do total flow volume, flow viscosity, particle size, % water to solids, clay percentage, etc govern the time between surge peaks?
the main parameter between two events is the rainfall, it needs a big downpour of water, therefore volume and visc is given
a scourful flow
now imagine if it was boiling hot, that would be a lahar, where this is just a mud flow
