New You Tube drinking game. The group watches videos of flash floods, waterfalls, dam breaches, or any other sort of powerful water in the wild, and if there is a Post 10 reference in the comments, everybody drinks. If there is a reference to "Beavers gonna be angry," or "No adventure without spiders," or "Time for the rake," then everybody chugs.
You definitely need to scout out the area around you before doing something like this and maintain a lot of constant situational awareness lest you find yourself cut off from every escape back to safety. Water could be creeping up around you from anywhere during a flash flood like this, and once it’s already flowing by you, you’re not going to hear it coming from somewhere else anymore. They are very cool to watch, but I was in the 500 year flooding in Longmont, Colorado several years ago and what started out as just a small-ish stream that was a little higher than normal and overflowing its banks going under a bridge with a bunch of people standing on it looking out over it turned into a 2.5 mile wide river overflowing that bridge that kept flowing at that rate for nearly 10 days in a matter of just 5 minutes. It is advisable to never, ever take a flash flood lightly, even if what you can see seems very small and easily escaped. It may be that way in that moment, but it doesn’t mean that it will still be that way in 30 seconds. Glad you were able to do this one safely and help teach your kids the power of nature, and share it with the rest of the world here so we can all see safely.
I always love going to a rivers edge of a dry river bed and waiting for the rushing water, I love when I can hear it coming, always do this after every hard rain. Great video!
I used to live in Moon Valley Gardens just north of Shaw Butte. There's an unnamed wash that runs from the MV Country Club behind the house 2 blocks away towards Cave Creek (the actual creek, not the town). Anytime there was significant rainfall I'd go out along w/ others in the 'hood & watch the water flow towards the canal that would eventually divert the water to treatment plants so we could use it later. Now I live in Portland, Oregon where water's taken for granted cause it flows all the time.
The kids reactions while they were learning at the same time. Very fun to hear!! They were so excited while the father was just amazed!! Thanks for sharing this moment.
Amazing how a complete family just stands there with NO idea where this deluge is coming from or how large it will grow. The next thing you read is that an entire family is wiped out.
Amazing how a complete stranger just sprouts nonsense on youtube. Next thing you know we're hearing from experts who have watch dozens of videos on the internet to supersede anybody who actually lives there.
Damm that's crazy. On the Rez here on Navajo Nation we gots floods to we're water run threw now. All the washes fill up past few storm's. Yupp but anyway. Love ur video 🤩. Showing my love from AZ Navajo Nation 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I saw this wash on that day, but the flow was not what your video shows. I haven't seen water flowing down that wash like that for over 25 years. Thanks for posting the video. Nothing better than seeing water flowing down a wash in Phoenix, in the Summer time.
Live in Phoenix as well. The not only moves fast but gets deep real quick as well. Several years back going to my second job midnight shift had to cross under the I-17 over pass at Bell Rd. Had a 98 chevy Silverado 4×4. State boys were on both sides telling cars not to go through. I had to to get to work. There were 3 cars under the over pass preaty much submerged. I drove through and the water rollwd up over the jood of my truck, just kept a constant hugh idle and made it to the other side.
In Central Illinois, we never see floods like this. However, there are several viaducts that are so dangerous, after a heavy rain, that whoever drives into it, is not coming out unless they know how to respond when the car is submerged.
When you view videos on permaculture and water harvesting in arid lands you begin to realize that we are terrible at managing water in the United States. The “brittle landscapes” in the headwaters of these drainages have been disastrously damaged by grazing mis-management and the land should be modified with swales, and other water harvesting structures that slow the water down, allow for infiltration and recharge of the aquifers. We MUST begin to look toward storm flow management via “soakage” rather than drainage as they are doing in arid lands around the world. We cannot afford to keep wasting this resource.
Grazing mismanagement? 🤣🤣 I don't think so. There's nothing to graze on!! Do you know anything about Arizona geology? You are trying to sound so smart but you have no idea what you are talking about. What you are watching IS storm flow management! Arizona has extremely dense, clay like soil with very little air pocket space to absorb water. This "soakage" you speak of happens at a much slower rate than many places, so the water pools on the surface because it cannot be absorbed fast enough, and starts to flow with the gradient of the landscape. That's why people have reinforced and otherwise manipulated natural flow channels called washes to direct the water into low lying drainage basins where it can collect into pools and SLOWLY seep into the soil to recharge the aquifers. Why do you think the bottom of the wash has steps and a concrete surface? What you are looking at is NOT mismanagement of storm flow waters, but quite the opposite. Do you understand now?d
@@davidkozak4139 I have lived and worked in Arizona, and traveled from the Sonoran Desert to the Kaibab Plateau, and from the Colorado River to the Painted Desert, I have a pretty good understanding of Arizona geology. I lived in southern Nevada for 20 years from 1980 to 2000 and witnessed the effects of land management practices that degraded natural systems and reduced overall productivity. Arizona soils are not limited to heavy clays and vary from clay playas to large areas of cryptobiotic soils and sandy and gravelly bajada slopes. Much of the Sonoran Desert was covered with savannah vegetation prior to the arrival of European pastoralism, that damaged wet meadows and triggered the vicious cycle of head-cutting, down-cutting and dewatering of riparian zones. Similar environmental degradation has occurred throughout North America west of the 100th meridian, eastern Australia, and the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa. Perennial grasses have been eliminated by poor grazing practices, head-cutting has disconnected streams from their flood plains and dewatered shallow aquifers, and eliminated perennial stream flows and springs, leaving behind deep arroyos that quickly channel water to flood low lands while depriving head-waters areas of the benefits of water infiltration. Over the last two years I have been studying the practice of “Permaculture” practiced by Geoff Lawson, Andrew Millison, and others on regenerative projects in Africa, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East, the Untied States, and Australia. Down cut streams are being re-connected with their flood plains in public-private projects in Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, AND Arizona. techniques vary according to to local environments. BDA’s or “Beaver Dam Analogs” have had dramatic effects in less than 5 years, sometimes in as little as two growing seasons, extending seasonal flow periods and reestablishing perennial flows in some watersheds in the American West. In the BLM Elko District in Nevada perennial flows have been re-established during severe droughts by changing stream geometries by installing BDA’s to retard rapid run-off and encourage water infiltration into flood plains in headwaters areas. Endangered native salmonids have be re-established in former habitats. The use of water harvesting structures has captured monsoonal moisture in India, re-establishing perennial flows in certain watersheds, and freed impoverished villagers from the need to have water TRUCKED in during the dry season. From Western Africa to Haiti to southern Arizona low-tech, and low-cost in-channel rock structures are reducing current flows, and creating silt deposits that absorb and gradually release water to encourage the re-establishment of riparian vegetation. Polyculture Dryland Farm in Eastern Australia is working on restoring a landscape that has been degraded by two centuries of inappropriate grazing practices through the construction of ponds, swales, on-contour rips and the planting of annual and perennial vegetation to improve the productivity of the land. David, literal grass-roots projects are being implemented around the planet to break the cycle of floods, droughts, and wildfires with substantial returns on limited investments of labor and the use of locally available materials and plant species in terms of increased land productivity, alleviating rural poverty, stemming the migration of desperate people from rural communities to large urban areas. The apocalypse press is constantly harping on the increasing frequency of floods, droughts and wildfires in response to climate change. Projects around the planet are proving that water harvesting practices reduce the frequency of floods by slowing water run-off from peak precipitation events, and that when that water is infiltrated into the local water table and made available long term, the effects of drought are reduced, and wildfires are less frequent. We need to begin to look at flash floods as a missed opportunity to conserve and wisely use water and begin to repair some of the damage that has been done through the incorrect application of land management practices. Business as usual is a luxury that we can no longer afford. I hope that you can find the time to do some reading up and viewing of permaculture practices and learn to see where I am coming from, rather than being insulting to my experience, education, and intelligence.
@@davidkozak4139 Check out the video on the “Palominas Recharge Project” in Cochise County Arizona where the local government in implementing ground water recharge and flash flood mitigation through the use of water harvesting structures. Is CAN work in Arizona.
When I was a kid living with my family in Glob Arizona we had a flash food. Police came into the movie theater screaming get to high ground now. I remember running with my mother. The pictures of the aftermath were scary. I’m so old,I think it was before recorded time. lol.
Exactly, that is why the oceans are now littered with plastic. Well done certain uncaring people of Phoenix. May i suggest that some of you band together and run a creek clean up twice a year to remove the crap that certain parties dump because they do not give a shit about the environment.
there is infact a nursery upstream lol. upstream goes through alot of recent construction so im sure some stuff blew away into the desert overtime and the right big storm came

Hola! Are you asking why the water comes to this one area? The ground here in AZ is hard and will not absorb the rain water. The water collects and then creates these flash floods. The water is guided to special drainage areas such as this one. Then most lead the the Salt Water River Canal, owned by our power company SRP.
I live in North Phoenix foothills, and I have a dry wash that runs like this every summer. Like having a creek next to your house. It is fun to watch. The downside is it will wash down all the snakes and scorpions from the top of the hill. That is a bitch to deal with.
@@christinehutchins123 Not really. I have spent years creating rock paths for run-offs from all sides of my house from the hill sides. My house never gets flooded. If you live on a hillside you better know how the rain can flood your house. My biggest fear is all the greenery growing on the hillside that will eventually dry and become tinder for a fire. But if you understand that, you will need to clear a large area arround your home from the weeds.
@@dannyruiz6868 I was joking. I'm sure there are many reasons to enjoy where you are, and you know what to expect and how to handle it,so you are good.😀
It is amazing how it goes from nothing to such a large volume of water so quickly. Would love to see the water receding, I imagine it recedes and goes away as quickly as it came?
Just think if they had built thousands of water retention structures further uphill and allowed the water to soak in over time their water table would be higher for longer
It's flowing down to a giant flood plain north of a dam. Sport fields, RC airport, and desert scrub. Where the dam meets the mountain/hill is an outlet that reduces the flow into the valley.
A minha pergunta não foi em questão de não saber o lugar, até porque está na descrição do vídeo. So não sabia de onde saia essa quantidade de lama! Obrigada pela resposta. Deus abençoe.
That’s cool I used live in green valley and my sister n her family lived in Tucson and they had some good ones I hated when see one in the vehicle . I just turned around went around the bigger block isn’t worth your life
Late reply, but flash floods are a little bit different. In the desert there's not much rain. The soil gets really dry and hard, and doesn't take in water very well. So instead of the ground soaking up what would be moderate to maybe a little heavy rainfall in wetter states, it all just flows to the lowest point it can find. In a big city, that ends up being places like the one in the video, where clever engineering gets it out of the city or to floodplains that can take it. Normal floods: Long sustained rain that saturates the ground, and thus starts to pool above ground. Flash floods: Periods of intense and heavy rain after dry weather. Ground can't absorb the water, so it creates sudden and very dangerous rivers. Passes much quicker.
these are flash floods, they have been happening since the beginning of time. They come from the hills when water runs off, there are washes all over the deserts where the water runs. can't stop these, they are part of desert life.
the father in this viseo should be brought up in child endangerment charges puting them selfs endanger just to watch a flash flood. people like him is why the fire rescue department have to be sent out all the time. he had no ida how bad he placed his own kids in endanger. he is so cluseless that he even thinks posting this video on youtube a good ida to do so. he is lucky no one has called Arizona Department of Child Safety as of yet.
Don't take your children to see a flash flood !!!😮 These events are dangerous and possibly even fatal .☠️ If you, the adult, want to take the risk, then at least you know what the risks are but don't put your kids in a danger zone; they will be just as fascinated watching films
What those snowbirds don’t get is it doesn’t have to be raining in your area for flash flooding ps my dog loved we would play in the little ones in green valley
You never know when a catastrophic second wall will come in behind the first wall. Not smart to hange on that edge. Next time, tell the kids to go to high ground.

Kids reaction made this better. Good lesson for them on playing in washes.
Keep the excited kids away from the slope as it's probably very dangerous to slip down into the fast flowing water.
Nah, let 'em go swimming.
Flood: "How nice of you guys to put some steps in for me to go down to the flood ditch. Thanks! I'ma bring my trash with me."
This "stairway to nowhere" out in the open looks odd, but of course it serves a different function, as seen here.

Slows the water up enough to keep the bridge from getting washed out.

All the plastic waste rejoining the oceans's will become microplastics in the body, nice for the future.
Why all the floods? Where are they coming from? There has been so many of them lately and all over the world, and they can be so extremely dangerous.
Late reply, but flash floods are a little bit different. In the desert there's not much rain. The soil gets really dry and hard, and doesn't take in water very well. So instead of the ground soaking up what would be moderate to maybe a little heavy rainfall in wetter states, it all just flows to the lowest point it can find. In a big city, that ends up being places like the one in the video, where clever engineering gets it out of the city or to floodplains that can take it.
Normal floods: Long sustained rain that saturates the ground, and thus starts to pool above ground.
Flash floods: Periods of intense and heavy rain after dry weather. Ground can't absorb the water, so it creates sudden and very dangerous rivers. Passes much quicker.
these are flash floods, they have been happening since the beginning of time. They come from the hills when water runs off, there are washes all over the deserts where the water runs. can't stop these, they are part of desert life.
Raging water within 5 minutes ....no escaping what’s ever in its path......
Mouthy kids sure mess up a good video. Brake out the duck tape!
the father in this viseo should be brought up in child endangerment charges puting them selfs endanger just to watch a flash flood. people like him is why the fire rescue department have to be sent out all the time. he had no ida how bad he placed his own kids in endanger. he is so cluseless that he even thinks posting this video on youtube a good ida to do so. he is lucky no one has called Arizona Department of Child Safety as of yet.
He said in another comment wasn't his child..🌞
Don't take your children to see a flash flood !!!😮 These events are dangerous and possibly even fatal .☠️ If you, the adult, want to take the risk, then at least you know what the risks are but don't put your kids in a danger zone; they will be just as fascinated watching films
What those snowbirds don’t get is it doesn’t have to be raining in your area for flash flooding ps my dog loved we would play in the little ones in green valley
Metal detecting when the water goes down and dries up a little,,,(fine gold)
No gold here. Flood gold won't be in this area.
@@adamtilley1920 at the head point?
This comes from the cavecreek area and no gold there. The aqua fria river further up the freeway and more into the bradshaw mountains would have gold
Now if they allowed some beavers to build dams their water wouldn’t do this but rather refill the ground and the aquifers
Complain about not having enough water, capturing it might be a good idea for later.
Any more videos like this minus the kids in the background?
You never know when a catastrophic second wall will come in behind the first wall. Not smart to hange on that edge. Next time, tell the kids to go to high ground.
in God we trust 👍👍👍
