@rankinstudio12 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your concern. The water doesn't form new paths as the front wall is coming down. It will always follow the path of least resistance - the existing stream channel. After the flood gets going and picks up a bed load, then it carves new paths for subsequent floods. While this is risky, I have been doing it for over 10 years. The rewards of seeing / filming these floods is well worth the risk to me. Cheers, David.

+Bioshock Infinite These can't because the banks are so short and wide...If it was storming hard I'm sure it would be more climactic....This is a very mild example of a flash flood....I've only seen one flash flood in my life and the one I saw was probably about 20x worse than this. The one I saw could most definitely kill you...The initial flow is near impossible to swim in because it is very dense due to all the mud (good luck floating/doggy paddling in that).....add drift wood on top of that and you are DONE.
