The speed of the water is terrifying.

I once saw Hall of Fame-fisherman Larry McLawrence catch three Salmon in a current like this. Didn't bother Larry at all - he just cast and hit, cast and hit, cast and hit. Only the third Salmon gave Larry trouble ...because it was caught on a log.

Always keep a couple of extra band-aids on you, especially if you're swimming through this. 1:15

Only swim in this if you've had Advanced Debris Training and Certificate. i.e. Lifeguard issued ADT. @ 1:15.

Thanks for this video. Would it be OK if I use it for a research project? could you please contact me at [email protected]? thank you!

Favorite part: 0:48-1:30. Great footage captured!

Who's watching while the Texas thing is happening right now

Tourist to local....'Why is this flat area called a 'wash'?" Local to tourist...'Stand there after it's been raining, and you'll find out!!!!

Not worth watching as quality so bad..

so many logs.....a small part would make fire wood for whole winter. I need logs :/

A lot of people figure that the beginning of that probably doesn't look that bad and think that you could "walk on it and get out of the way." Realistically, that water is pushing small stones (like the ones in the video before it covers them) along the bottom. You'd probably fall down due to stepping on round stones at the bottom, not to mention the water force trying to knock you down and the debris jabbing you everywhere. If you fell in the head of that, it would probably spear you in a lot of horrible places and you'd have life threatening wounds very quickly, then drown in the deeper water that follows.

LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!

Water is not very deep but there is A LOT of it that just pushes everything down. Deadly debris head on that one. WOW.

Have any dams been removed upstream?

shit quality

Come hear

Hi I'm jason wilson lived their most of my life in virgin mis it an zoin live in mo has dig floods

Nice! Those pieces of wood could snap legs, and crush bone. Always check weather beyond local area before trekking canyons!

It looks alive.

Hello, I'm trying to get in touch with you about using this clip in our show. It would be great to hear from you - [email protected] Thanks

like a boss!

Its' basically a moving dam burst. Including the dam.

Never really knew what a flash flood was until i stumbled upon a video like this

Damn there gonna be sim angry beavers after that

some happy beaver!!!

Sorry for me being stupid but if i was that guy filming I would of jumped on The pile of sticks and ride the wave

And I mean Duhernal Lake.

I mean Hurricane Irene.

In 2011,I saw something similar to this during Hurricane Isacc. In NJ,locations near Duheral lake got a flash flood. Many of my friends lost their homes. :-(

These are very smart people here: "Is that what it looks like", "Going to pee my pants", "There is alot of water"

Hi Candyonlandmedia I am trying to contact you about your video ... I have sent you a private message ... thanks ! Rolling

Virgin River and then into the Colorado River.

well would you look at that -_-

That mess o sticks come me I jus light a fire an burn it all.

HAHA funny CrimsonVanquisher

I can see why vampires are scared of moving water, because it has a billion stakes at the front of it hahaha!

Wouldn't we call this a debris flow?

Absolutely!!!!!

Please get a permit before going. We had a flood before this that wiped out our subdivision. There have been many killed in this type of flooding. It is dumb to put yourself in a slot canyon with bad weather. The park service will not give permits if the weather is bad. It can be from 100's of miles away.

Awesome footage.

Beaver's Dam uncontrolled demolition........

Thanks! Did you see my video of us going through Zion Narrows during the storm?

Sounds like someone got a text on his/her HTC android phone at 0:40 =)

This is located in a private subdivision on Kolob Road 3 miles out of Virgin.

this is something i want to witness in real life before i die

Why you NEVER EVER camp in a dry river bed.

You and your friends have poor bladder control.

where in North Creek was this? I was stuck in Zion Narrows this day when the storm hit. We were in the wall street section and has to climb a cliff. We did the entire 16 mile hike with a backcountry permit. There were 6 of us that came out of the Narrows together.

Gnarly thanks for sharing

Looks like a dragon
