Flash flood in North Wash
I am new to both this forum (hence the delayed post) and canyoneering, but am really enjoying both since building a second home in Bluff.
I thought some of you might be interested in this video I shot last year. My wife and I were driving up North Wash when a thunderstorm hit the upper end. We quickly drove back down stream and waited for the show.

very cool! I love the zoom in around 2:00 and seeing the torrent around the one corner and dry around the next.

That is amazing. You are fortunate to witness such an event, especially from a safe distance. I remember the first major flash flood I ever saw, it was in Wahweap and afterward, my dad measured the depth of the empty wash bottom and it was around 10 feet deep. Definitely left a lasting impression and respect for flash floods. Thanks for sharing it.

One more edit. I didn't mean to offend. I am sorry when life and property is lost in any kind of natural disaster. But again, that is also an awesome sight.Life is Good
