Desert Flash Flood (making of)

[@americanakita55]

What a beautiful landscape and plants. Really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for posting!

[@shobuddy]

Few things more satisfying than watching desert rain.

[@elainebmack]

The desert has it's own unique drama and beauty. Wonderful video.

[@douglaswitte4047]

There is nothing like the smell of rain in the desert, very distinctive. I love it.

[@garywebb4244]

I’m glad that as a young man I had the chance to grow up in the desert areas of California. So many cool things to see and explore.

[@maryjaynemay3410]

OMG !!! That's the most beautiful and HUGE garden ever !!

[@hjs4weather]

This is a very nice documentation. The rain. The beginning of collecting water. The impact on the animal world. The start of the flood water. In the end the traces of the flood water. In the whole video the beautiful landscape pictures with the typical plant world of the desert. Very nicely filmed.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+hjs4weather Thank You :-)

[@vincent7520]

Beautiful photos with the green colors of the desert plants that have just been "refreshed" by the rain. Excellent video. Thanks for making it and posting.

[@jstwntmusic]

An absolutely beautiful film ! I loved it.

[@peteacher52]

Super camera work, vivid colourful imagery with a fine sense of rising tension. Well done! Col, NZ.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thank you!

[@jimjones1630]

All those lil plants are like YAAAAAAS glub glub glub glub

[@davidangelamelcher9591]

Excellent video! I grew up in Arizona seeing this and knowing about flash floods and yet I'm still amazed at people who continue to camp or recreate in low wash areas especially during monsoon season.

[@lrein077]

A great video from beginning to end. Thank you.

[@wheelori814]

and thats how we roll in the desert! Good job capturing that!

[@akirk1573]

This was Very well-produced.

[@aylagriffin3310]

At the start of "The Secret Knowledge of Water" Craig Childs says "There are two ways to die in the desert: Thirst and Drowning." The desert is incredible and it's such a dynamic place that has floods written into it's very bones. Thank you for such an incredible video!

[@matthewcraig8926]

I needed to watch this video. I miss the desert rain. We're missing these in Arizona. It's almost mid July and so far monsoons a no show.

[@anivash007]

Very nicely captured video. Most beautifull thing I saw today.

[@williamchristian8705]

Great job of capturing all the little elements involved. I’ve been in two minor ones. They happen quickly in a desert environment near hills and mountains. We rode motorcycles when I was young. My Dad taught me things to observe.

[@saltpan8005]

Really great video, nothing more beautiful than a storm in the desert.

[@RandomEndeavors]

saltpan8005 Thanks

[@alexwalker8422]

A beautiful desert too imo

[@parassharma2795]

It is a video of rainfall and later water flowing down the rocks. Where was the "storm in the desert" part?

[@bradscott3165]

Beautiful camera work, it really captures the colors of the area.

[@xSTARR999]

Beautiful little documentary. The cacti are especially lovely. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there.

[@Ritercrazy]

One of the prettiest floods I've ever seen. Great shooting and editing.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+Ritercrazy +Ritercrazy thank you just happened to be in the right place at the right time.. Even more awesome that I caught water starting over a dry water fall at the end.

[@Ritercrazy]

Fyterfrogs Endeavor Welcome. Yes, the waterfall was captivating.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+Ritercrazy 😁

[@HuckOutdoors]

Nice video. I got some good shots of the floods over my way from these monsoons this year.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Jason Huckeba thanks will have to check them out

[@jago76]

So well done with the desert colors and the sound of rushing water. i wish we had computer smellovision too.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thank you!

[@greasylimpet3323]

It looked like a beautiful garden, with the water as paths. You can see where the plants grow on the higher parts, even though there isn't a lot of rain, it still defines the places which are and aren't good for plants.

[@mercuri_8886]

I TRULY LOVE RAIN I ALWAYS PRAY but sadly.. i live in the uae RAINS 10 DAYS A YEAR..

[@AMCKEJB3]

It's absolutely beautiful there , great video

[@kamenoff]

BEAUTIFUL DESERT ...NICE VIDEO NATURE

[@brianvittachi6869]

I know I'm in good company here. Thanks for the video.

[@ronhoughton5147]

Very cool. Great job!

[@zayravargas4286]

Qué bello lugar. Wow 🤗. saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷💋❤️.Nice vídeo 👍.

[@meryn7301]

beatiful desert, thanks for this :)

[@simmonsp1000]

Fascinating to see the transition - thanks!

[@potatothorn]

ExcEllent! "a silent killer approaches" - no kidding/ looks harmless at first right/ thanks for making this film, you really show us how it happens

[@RandomEndeavors]

potatothorn Thank you I was lucky to be there at the right time.

[@retrology8bit337]

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting.

[@jjxtwo1]

Great video. That's a fairly rare site even for those who have spent a lot of time in that area. Beautiful.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Jeff Jones Thank you

[@raisinhellinboots7034]

Amazing how it turned into a small river so fast!! Great video btw

[@azsailor88]

Great job Kelly

[@amberlynchrisope2063]

beautiful I grew up in Joshua tree and I loved it when we got rain brings back great memories

[@dougalexander7204]

Beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing.

[@garyloger9416]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. 2 Thumbs up.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thanks

[@larryfisher5796]

I've seen that same thing in southern Utah it can come up on you fast

[@hiquality_distraction4084]

Post floods are a great time to gold mine.

[@Caver461]

+jpc4God Makes sense - interesting point.

[@aubreyaskew4885]

You're not suppose to tell.

[@aztraingranny7015]

Spectacular documentation of the birth and lifespan of a desert flash flood! Lucky catches of an event that affected many in SoCal and AZ over the 18th and 19th. I was near Wickenburg for the floods on the 18th.

[@RandomEndeavors]

AZTrainGranny I was, lucky to be their at the right time. I knew the area well. I knew how long it had rained, more importantly I had a way out and a view down flood. Living in the desert we see these dry waterfalls all over the place. It's cool to see one with water over it, and even better to see it as it happen. I don't recommend people try this as I did because people do die from this silent killer ever year. Many times it happens miles away from any rain. Thank you for your post!

[@marthawhite3353]

Beautiful colors, very nicely done. Thank you for posting this -

[@crocodile1313]

Outstanding camera work--seemed professionally done much of the time. Beautiful colors and the gentle sounds (beginning at 1:11) were relaxing.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+CrocDoc1 Thank you was thinking of making a re-edit with just the streams and rain no text. Intrested in hearing what people liked about it so I can improve this channel

[@paulnorman4465]

I'm not a film pro or anything, but I thought your text blended in fine and was not distracting. When people try to be too cool and insert music into a beautiful video, like yours here, is when they self-destruct. Anyway, well done!

[@RandomEndeavors]

Paul Norman Ok so less music. Text at the right times ok. But find ways to add natural sounds to the nature stuff. Im by know means a pro. so any ideas help!!!

[@orgami100]

Fyterfrogs Endeavor ...definitely great camara and editing. .. thanks

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thank you for your comment!

[@faithrada]

That was quite amazing... and beautiful. Thank you for sharing.. well done.

[@10pele]

Stunningly beautiful to the eyes and ears. Inappropriately called a desert.

[@jonathanstrauss2083]

I love all the desert vegetation

[@memitchellmitchell4665]

Beautiful video....reminds me of the outback of El Paso,tx...

[@Squarerig]

Well made indeed.Thank you for the film.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thank you

[@woody95124]

Very very cool Vid!

[@sujathavijayan5921]

[@kyunghikim6730]

Que filmagem otima.que lugar lindo.onde fica?

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Excellent video. Great camera work, angles and sequences, very well edited and put together. Thanks for sharing/posting.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Thank you it means a lot check this vid out also before it's released kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OlaWuGmL2da6M

[@distrachan2671]

So beautiful there.

[@l.b.martinez4329]

Perfect!

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Excellent footage. Really lovely to see and well done for catching it and uploading = )

[@Caver461]

Does the flood eventually just sink back into the earth or does it actually have a river destination that it reaches?

[@RandomEndeavors]

The desert is one of a few places where water disappears back into the earth and does not join a bigger stream. this video is about one hour or two of time. total dry earth next day.

[@Caver461]

Fyterfrogs Endeavor amazing - i'd love to see that.

[@markvanleeuwen6678]

If it rains long enough, -days- the destination for this water is the Salton Sea.

[@IVDMuseum]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video, so beautiful and peaceful to watch, and when checking the description I was so surprised that this was in Ocotillo. I was hoping to get your permission to use some of this footage for an educational video the Imperial Valley Desert Museum, located in Ocotillo, is producing. Thank you so much again.

[@hectorlozano6930]

beautiful scenery beautiful video. thanks for putting this together. I would love to witness this in person.

[@Muggar62]

Awesome. Everything comes back to life :)

[@southernlight6]

What a beautiful place.

[@kennethhuff7158]

Desert is so beautiful in spring

[@deeppodder2210]

Great video indeed captured every moment👌👌👌👌👌

[@RandomEndeavors]

+Deep Podder Thanks for the comment u really appreciate it 😀👍

[@wilton680]

Neste mundo não existe nada mais lindo, mais maravilhoso, mais abençoado que uma chuva. Gratidão Natureza.

[@RandomEndeavors]

Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário. a chuva dá energia a tudo.

[@frickpoo6644]

awesome!!!

[@pauldcumming]

This video is excellent. I appreciate it. How much rainfall?

[@accelwell7018]

I can tell that's a clean area. some times these washes will set for years before they run in this ones case not a cigarette but not a beer can that some asshole decided they did not need .... nothing its looks almost pristine. nice vid by the way.

[@Mojave888]

Beautiful.

[@krisrose219]

Beautiful thank you

[@jcc777]

Where exactly is this location it looks very very similar to Carlsbad New Mexico Flora wise. PS I know it cali. I live there along the Colorado.

[@2109vinicius]

Muito interessantes as cenas de chuva no deserto. Parabéns!

[@npyota2]

Muy bueno! Felicitaciones!

[@RandomEndeavors]

+Friedrich ¡Gracias!

[@Ottedikkie]

beautiful!

[@greasylimpet5357]

Thank you for the video, it is beautifully done. I wonder how many storms have eroded the rocks to the rounded edges they have now? I have subscribed to your channel.

[@powaybob45]

Where were you? You had to be north of Ocotillo somewhere, Jojoba Wash or Moretero? Great video though, wish I had been out there. I have a place in Canebrake but no rain there.

[@RandomEndeavors]

powaybob45 I was near Nomirage, CA thanks for watching

[@hebneh]

Strange to see an actual little running stream between cacti.

[@xSTARR999]

Was very beautiful.

[@Sojourning_]

awesome, it's been a while since I been there about,

[@rhiannonlewis1564]

Hi there! Sorry to chase this but I'm a researcher on an engineering series for the Science Channel. Would you be happy if we used your incredible footage for one of our stories in return for a mention in our final credits? Thank you! x

[@edwardwillever2213]

Where in ocotillo is that it's beautiful!

[@jasperedwards81]

Awesome video quality. What kind of camera and settings did you use? I would love for any of mine to be this sharp.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+John Edwards this was on a Samsung S 4 cell phone and edited on a Samsung tab S

[@jasperedwards81]

+Fyterfrogs Endeavor That really blows me away to learn that a cell phone can take that level of quality.

[@RandomEndeavors]

+John Edwards I know what you mean I remember my dad having a computer that was 64 bits now they have sd chips the size of your pinky nail that can hold 128 gigs that will work in smart phones.....someone also told me that the reason we now have quad core and 8 core computers is because data is sent per electron and they need the extra cores channel lines to send more data. because we have maxed out what can be sent through a core channel to be prosssed.

[@Sunny-kn6th]

Really beautiful and powerful

[@sandrobertte]

Bonita paisagem.

[@bb1040]

Every time I see one of these flash floods I have to wonder, where all that water ends up. LOL

[@RandomEndeavors]

In the desert 2hrs later its kike nothing happened..back into the soil...and extremely humidity with @ 100° temperature

[@TheGargalon]

Such flash, very flood, wow.

[@sathyanarayanalingiah6915]

are these desert plants happy ?

[@cookingwithaneem8670]

This was my wish for a long time today when I saw this vedio ful fill thanks

[@chasq1]

Very cool that probally dosent happen very often !

[@davidmarshall1259]

that must smell divine.

[@BBFLLC4400]

💖I absolutely love that smell! Rain in the desert! I grew up in southern Utah and watched quite a few of these crazy floods, the smells were incredible!

[@mauriceupton1474]

Pity there's no contour swales or dams to hold and store the rain water, a series of dams might reduce flash flooding and restore moisture into the ground.

[@omturki5527]

[@RandomEndeavors]

+Victoria Gamboni thanks!

[@TheRailfan32]

Cool!

[@RandomEndeavors]

awesome thanks!!!

[@asishb6673]

superb

[@DoctorKnowDoctorKnow]

So were you running from one spot to another ahead of the water?

[@RandomEndeavors]

I was traped in a small valley when it hit. I didn't know the rain was coming. The water in Carrizo Creak moves towards the hwy, the way out. I stayed on the mountain sides of the creek and I know the area well, where the water falls are and the high ground also how much rain hand fallen. I had my truck to stay ahead of it, left it on high ground and always had an excape plan in mind. flash floors are dangerous and should be treated as such. I always asume the worst seanario and plan accordingly and if less then I'm covered. Plan for the unexpected.

[@faithrada]

@@RandomEndeavors Always good advice. Happy to hear you are cautious. Coming from New England I had trouble grasping just what a Flash Flood was like. After seeing some doozies on KZbin however .. I finally understood... WOW .. They are killers for sure. Yup.... Always respect flash flood warnings.
