As former AZ residents, we never tire of seeing the beauty and danger of the monsoon storms. If anyone is in the area, the washes along the Sonoran Desert Parkway in North Phoenix get wild! Enjoy the SW, Dr. Timmer!
This is my favorite time of the year - people don’t understand the amount of relief you can get from a monsoon storm when it’s 110 degrees out and the temp drops into the low 80’s high 70’s.
The wonderful thing about a good monsoon season is the greening of the desert. I just had a nice day drive in the mountains south of Tucson and it was dang near a lush jungle in comparison to the usual brown colors of the drier seasons. Sure, I had to deal with some rough (dried out) washes and some sand on the paved highways, but absolutely worth it.
3:28 I really appreciate the oversized mirrored Oakleys - that way we can see the reflection of him rear-ending another car while driving and filming himself with a handheld.
What an active monsoon season in Mesquite, NV. and the surrounding area. Even had 2 small tornadoes on the ground in the desert area around mile marker 109 on Interstate 15, west of town. Thanks for visiting, I'm a frequent follower. Never Stop !!
Dang...That debris flow at 1.54 really shows how long it had been since rain last hit that area! Desert storms maybe crazy but I will take anything we can het right now and fingers crossed for good snowpack up in the Rockies this year and many more to come.
Should have seen the one in Scottsdale, AZ last night. Trapped a gal on top of a wall at the skate park. One minute skating, the next a 4-5' wall of water all around her. Had to call rescue-copter to get her out. Great videos Reed. Fan of you.
@@ReedTimmerWx Activity in the fore cast. Time of the year. This one was fast. Real fast. Couldn't believe how fast that water came up. Poor lady almost got swept away. She was stranded on the "jump" wall which is about 5' tall. Love your shows, keep them coming. I spent a few years in Illinois from '90- '96 and have been through 3 tornadoes. Plainfield was right next door. Actually Crest Hill was across the street. Fascinating weather.
Reed, I would love it if you could explain how the clouds actually hold the rain considering when you fly through a cloud it looks like a fog and not something you would think could hold rain since it is not dense enough or thick enough for my mind to understand how it is holding water.... it just doesn't look like it would/could. Thank you!
My brother and 4 others were killed back in 79 when a flash flood hit the highway at night. They were coming back from Prescott so you all be careful out there.
Reed, great videos. When are you going to make it out to New Mexico. We have had some big flash floods from major burn scars. Next week is looking very wet too!
I miss the monsoon season we use to get here in SoCal. I've noticed since last decade there's been monster storm systems out in the Pacific where they flow freely with no anomalies but once it got close to southern California they either disintegrated or diverted around Baja and proceed normally across the rest of the nation. Rancher friends have noticed that too!
We have not seen a moonsoon season like this since about 2012. We have been under flash flood watches and advisories for about a week. This July beginning of August has been full of cloudy skies and high humidity as we are used to dry 105-120 degree weather. We are still looking at rain at least for another week here and we are loving it. Our storms pretty much happen at night and makes for great viewing especially if your in a strip hotel the views are amazing with all the lightning strikes.
Thank you for these videos, I'm always amazed at the beauty and power of the desert. Nice you get to chase storms and have a cold Pacifico, you can't hide my favorite beer.
I somehow have been craving flash flood content lately. Its just such a strange and fun phenomena to watch. Somehow found your channel and its been super cool to see them all!
First of all, just have to say...I LOVE your content! I often wonder though, when you fly somewhere to do weather coverage and rent a car, and they see your name on the list, what do they charge you for coverage?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
Family + I got caught in a flash flood in Canyonlands NP, 1970s. We were amazed that 1' of water could carry 2' boulders ,iles down the paved road. We outran the flood, raced our car across a connecting hiway, jammed it up a hill where we pitched our tent and spent the night, water roaring below. Next morn had to clear the road of logs + boulders as we descended several miles to the main hiway. A lesson in erosion + the power of water!
Thank you Reed for all that you do to show us what's going on all around us these floods and all the rain has been bad be safe Reed and God bless you for your videos
Hi Reed! Prescott, Arizona here🤙 🌟New Subscriber🌟 I just started watching your videos and they are amazing and packed with great advice and info💯👍 The Southwest ROCKS 🤘
Nice work! I love the desert and I too love flash flood weather. Not as educated as you as I prefer much higher ground. Thank you for all the time you put I. To making this video
This monsoon season has been like nothing I’ve seen before. We had a microburst yesterday that took down a neighborhood full of trees in less than 5 minutes . Love your channel!
story from professor, around 2010 el paso and las cruces had a 500 year event, we were literally doing projects and homework on rain totals and 100 to 500 year flood estimates for damage control actually going to predicted wash area looking at high water marks to get flow rates. he said in el paso i think or close his friend had a garbage can out, 17 inches in it
@@ReedTimmerWx Meeting people like him with stories that you’ve never heard in a location that is doing something very extraordinary is what life is all about!!
We're catching all we can in cisterns and dug holes near gardens. Built swales as catchments too. All well here at high mountain desert plateau hideout NM.
I would just like to say I wish your blue text pop-ups stayed up a little longer. Trying to see the video and read there were few I got to finish despite really trying lol. Thanks!
So, what is the difference between excess rain water filling a gorge or wash, a flood going through, and a flash flood going through? Except for the one with all the branches and limbes (which I'd call a flood), these all looked like just excess rain water. I didn't see anything I'd call "flash" flood. Please explain!
You should check out the storm damage from hail in Wallowa OR the other day. Pretty incredible. I'm in the Boise area and we had a few good storms but no flooding.
My wife and I and four of our friends got stranded in a flash flood near Moab UT we were four wheeling .we were able to get to high ground .Six hours we sat .
Moab got hit on Saturday night and it put down like 2.5 inches in 25 minutes. Flooded a big chunk of town.
I saw that! A few rounds of flooding in Moab this summer

We had a wild one Friday afternoon in Scottsdale 8/12/22
Tucson here! I agree!
I used to live in Lake Havasu! I learned to love and appreciate the beauty of the desert while living there.
This is my favorite time of the year - people don’t understand the amount of relief you can get from a monsoon storm when it’s 110 degrees out and the temp drops into the low 80’s high 70’s.
Stupid Motorist Law
I'm really loving this calmer reporting, thank you, Reed Timmer! The emergency is still evident in your presentation but now I can hear every word.
I’ve lived in the southwest for 16 years. This is my second summer in AZ and I never get tired of these monsoons. So beautiful!
If you lived here for 2 summers you say then you would also know Az really did not get no monsoon last year or the few yrs before that.. lol fckn liar

Incredible! Astonishing to see how the desert landscape changes in seconds
Add water and poof .. flowers..❤😂
thank you for coming west.
You have a beautiful home. I love it out here. Thanks for watching!

Good content and decent photography. Thanks, Reed, you never disappoint.

Yes I left Mesquite too early!
Never thought I’d see my town,
Black Canyon City, on a Reed Timmer video!! Lovin’ the drone footage!
Dang...That debris flow at 1.54 really shows how long it had been since rain last hit that area! Desert storms maybe crazy but I will take anything we can het right now and fingers crossed for good snowpack up in the Rockies this year and many more to come.
I hope all that rain helps out. I imagine it's going to be beautiful in a few weeks when landscapes become green and blooming.
The desert already is green since it's been raining since July 1.
Thank you for showing Flagstaff and the SW some monsoon love
I am so very glad that you folks do these videos to show those natural wonders, to us who live distance away
@Flextape Dr. Timmer needs a new ball cap, he has been working HARD for months and it shows!😍😍

Do you have to wear a disguise when you go in to rent cars? LOL

Great video! I lived in the So. Cal desert and I loved the flashfloods we would get!
So that's where all the rain went. It sure isn't in Texas.
Vegas has monsoon season? Who knew? Nice & interesting footage. Thank you.
Vegas can get so flooded, the homeless that live underground sometimes literally get flushed out.
And snowstorms...
Thank you for these videos, I'm always amazed at the beauty and power of the desert. Nice you get to chase storms and have a cold Pacifico, you can't hide my favorite beer.
Yesterday afternoon here in scottsdale there was an extreme storm that came out of nowhere
Awesome video, thanks for that view 👍😙
Loved the rainbow😍
I somehow have been craving flash flood content lately. Its just such a strange and fun phenomena to watch. Somehow found your channel and its been super cool to see them all!
My sister is in Encampment WY. Under flash flood watch there today. Excellent video!
Miss AZ.. I was raised there.. taught as a young child about flashfloods, and snakes 🐍,,, it's beautiful country for sure...
Oh wow. Beautiful with all the “waterfalls” but scary.
First of all, just have to say...I LOVE your content! I often wonder though, when you fly somewhere to do weather coverage and rent a car, and they see your name on the list, what do they charge you for coverage?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
That flex tape hat though 😆. That's alotta damage!!

Such amazing, much-needed, content....THANK YOU.
(One minor point: It's pronounced "PRESS-kit", not "PresCOTT")
Nothing like a rainbow sunset with The Rim shining so beautifully....
1:45 this is the wall of death, it could be reduced in certain areas if people were allowed to collect and burn firewood
Hi Reed! Prescott, Arizona here🤙
🌟New Subscriber🌟 I just started watching your videos and they are amazing and packed with great advice and info💯👍 The Southwest ROCKS 🤘
Is there a way to divert water, or contain the water?
awesome video as always Reed
Oh yes, Arizona's chocolate waterfalls🤎😃
Beautiful rainbow 🌈 full of orange & yellow
A blessing for Lake Meade
Cool.I lived in AZ and NV for many years and have experienced many of these.
Nice work! I love the desert and I too love flash flood weather. Not as educated as you as I prefer much higher ground. Thank you for all the time you put I. To making this video
Cool and beautiful video. I love the west.
Awesome! Cheers Reed!
Very interesting, nothing like an on the ground look at the front edge of a flash flood! Great Job Reed!!
That was awesome to see and learn from. Rachel in Kingman AZ.
Great video!! Thanks, Reed!
You should have been here in Golden Valley, Az a couple of weeks ago. We had serious flash flooding.
Wow love this video fantastic job Reed 👊🏾
The east side of the valley has gotten hammered the last couple of days. The west side where I'm at didn't get any.
WOWSERS 💦
Keep up the good work @Reed😉👍
With third sunglasses you need a pit viper sponsor
Most of this rain reaches the rivers and streams in the Southwest...Lake Mead I'm sure is getting lots of rain as well....
Awesome capture!! Thank you.
Awesome, thx Reed
This monsoon season has been like nothing I’ve seen before. We had a microburst yesterday that took down a neighborhood full of trees in less than 5 minutes . Love your channel!
Good to hear an honest reporter talking about the weather doing it natural thing and not BSing people dropping the climate change crap.
Awesome footage 😆👍🏾 stay safe

Abel is the man
He really is the man. Has a crazy story of a flash flood west of Mesquite NV
@@ReedTimmerWx Meeting people like him with stories that you’ve never heard in a location that is doing something very extraordinary is what life is all about!!
We had a flashflood. A 250 gallon propane tank is now washed up against a tree in all the debris. That thing could start another wildfire.
bro reed you always coming in hot with them beats bro hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You could build check dams along these washes to store more of the water, and let it infiltrate the ground to replenish ground water.
Pray it helps the reservoirs!
Pop up text should be .5 seconds longer
Very impressive, Reed!
We're catching all we can in cisterns and dug holes near gardens. Built swales as catchments too. All well here at high mountain desert plateau hideout NM.
There has been some wild flooding in southern NM that’s for sure
I would just like to say I wish your blue text pop-ups stayed up a little longer. Trying to see the video and read there were few I got to finish despite really trying lol. Thanks!
Flash floods are scary for sure sometimes!
Are all the reservoirs filling up with much needed water? Hope so.
haha loving the send-o-vision goggles
lol
Awesome job Reed 👏
Enjoy your videos, Reed.
Best time to rock hound after the monsoon floods stirs it up
Yes I needed to focus on that after the flash floods pass through
I wish I had a job that I could be wrong 50% of the time and get accolades from my great accomplishments.
what a stupid comment
Well darn it, was hoping you'd find the big one.
Great!
What's the date that you filmed the AZ part of the video? I can see when it was uploaded, but not the date of the storms.
August 10
Amazing!!!
So, what is the difference between excess rain water filling a gorge or wash, a flood going through, and a flash flood going through?
Except for the one with all the branches and limbes (which I'd call a flood), these all looked like just excess rain water. I didn't see anything I'd call "flash" flood.

Nice beverage of Pacifico you got there
Man I know where a lot of these washes meet at in Nevada. There are Some real good ones
4:04 It looks like foam. What is and what causes that?
That would have been fun and educational to do
What causes the foam at the front of the floods?
This was the frist year i chased monsoon storms it was amazing
