Manitou Springs Flood - 8/9/2013

[@newlifechurchstories2678]

Thanks for posting this video. It's a good reminder of the power of a flash flood in Manitou.

[@jasperedwards81]

This is a super video. Ought to have way more views. Thanks for posting. I added it to favorites along with some other playlists as well.

The power of water should never be underestimated!

[@chasq1]

That got out of control fast !

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

I grew up in Colorado Springs and I used to love driving up the mountain past Manitou. If I'm not mistaken, the creek that runs through Manitou, is Foutain Creek. It never flooded as long as I lived there. Who knew that that quiet tranquil stream, had the ability to cause this kind of destruction.😮

shout out to that honda civic✌

[@koreanature]

Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea

[@vladen14]

That bridge took it like a champ.

[@patriotgirl4865]

I lived in Colorado Springs and know Manitou Springs fairly well. Oh, how tragic for them.

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

I lived in Colorado Springs until 1989. Never knew that Fountain Creek was capable of such destruction. It was always a beautiful, tranquil stream that came down off of Pikes Peak...so sad. Hope that beautiful little town recovers and stays strong.

[@themostfantasticcomment268]

that little bridge was a fucking trooper

[@didgereemedia194]

Incredible! The flashfloods in Queensland a few years ago has nothing on this!

[@massaweed420]

+Didgeree The Brony it came after the fire in 2012, which increased the risk of devastating flash flood/ landslides. manitou is right up against the mountains, so all the burnt down trees and loose soil/rocks were basically funneled into the cañon that manitou is at the end of

[@didgereemedia194]

+massaweed420 I'm guessing you're a resident?

[@massaweed420]

Didgeree The Brony i live in the town of manitou yes. except i live on the edge of the city, so my house was about 30-35 feet above the creek, so the flooding didn't reach us

[@didgereemedia194]

+massaweed420 Okay. I didn't know that. I live in rural Australia

[@coldwindblowing]

@@massaweed420 Hello. Still happens it in 2022???

[@stanokiai]

the power of nature

[@massaweed420]

i wonder how much damage the poppyseed got... if I'm not mistaken, that is the building that you see across the creek from your apartments. i do know my grandpas church (Saint Andrews), which is right behind the building that they filmed from got extensive damage in the basement. i was gone that summer, but when i came back most everything near the creek was washed out. luckily our house didn't get any damage, as its closer to the trading post and up in the hills

[@maditaco6555]

Ah the perks of living in manitou... My sister moved there in October and I'm scared for her in the summer...

[@Beemer917]

This is really screwed up! I really love Manitou Springs. One of the most beautiful places. You could go and eat down the road at Amanda's Fonda, then cruise down to old Colorado Springs. Then at the end of the night back up the hill to Manitou Springs. Beautiful beautiful place around there.

[@LynnBeckner36]

Hi Matt - I'm working on the 150th Anniversary Exhibit at the Manitou Springs Heritage Center and doing a story about the resilience of this city after many historic floods over the years. To my knowledge, this 2013 flood is the only one caught on film. I would love to use portions of your video for the exhibit and interview you for an "Oral History". Please let me know if you're interested. Thanks much! Lynn

[@ivanw3656]

That was one helluva piece of plywood that started the diversion.

[@markgsadventures3045]

Thats so crazy! Was this because of the fires that took out all the vegetation? Great filming too, I hate it when I see people film stuff but don't hold the camera steady or don't even aim the camera at the subject so this was def nice.

[@117instello]

No it was really heavy rain

[@bonniecline5014]

As a resident I can tell you, it was most definitely because of the fire the year before. We get heavy rains here alot. The destruction of the topsoil from the forest fire made this a catastrophy. It was very frightening to be in it. Whole houses we're coming down Canon Ave.

[@melbytvenge]

That was a Hell of a Flood.

[@BillyMinnow]

Why is everyone commenting on the car? 6:36 The car is fine. Unless it was running the entire time, it's fine. No water is getting in the engine, transmission, or electrical. The exhaust would be an issue if it were running. In all honesty, I doubt much water even got in the car (which would be the only concern, mildew).

[@PureVikingPowers]

Will a little stray kitten or rat or dog have time to run away or do they die sometimes in floods?

[@lindsaygrove6153]

Wow all those smashed up cars. Never heard of this place but it looks like a cute little town. Hope you got everything cleaned up and there were no injuries/casualties!

[@HardlineFeminists]

There are parts still not cleaned up 4 years later! The state of Colorado is basically flat-broke.

[@heyitsmags8250]

Lindsay Grove no, it's pretty cleaned up. a small town like Manitou, it ended up being a lot to clean up. The school now has flood plans for students who live up in the mountains (that also got flooded) it was pretty tough but it would be an amazing town of there wasn't so many people there now. Legalization of Marijuana raised rent and that's what pushed me out of the town. I hope it shapes up one of these days, my kids miss their friends so much. great town. *used to be a great town.

[@alvarogreyes6923]

This flooding video is from 2016 when I was working in Houston!!

[@philwhipple4557]

I don't think those sandbags were high enough.

[@jgroenveld1268]

+Phil Whipple After the flood - on that particular bend - they had put up a brick wall instead of railing. What concerns me is that they didn't do it on the other side of the river because if another flash comes it will just be diverted to the building across the river.

[@BrianaFohn]

Dang I live in Colorado but not there that’s scary.. poor maintou

[@nickhahn5412]

Wow this is nuts

[@sircampbell1249]

Mother and I just left day before the flood..

[@hebneh]

And that's why something like this is called a flash flood. You can see how easy it is for people to get caught and injured or killed like this.

[@anthem11212]

Where is the owner of that silver car?

[@didgereemedia194]

I bet he/she wishes they didn't park there that day

[@HardlineFeminists]

I was there when this happened!!

[@isawondfl1]

OK, you had time to sand bag and not move the car? Did someone want a new car or what???

[@pkd19]

Run up of a river in a turn should not be underestimated when it's at full capacity,and placing such a low bridge in a turn is the most stupid place as you can clearly see..

[@cranksta1000]

That car is totally strapped onto that beam! SMART BITCHES.

[@caturlifelive]

agreed

[@MikMoen]

It looked like it was holding fine until that debris started piling up in the corner. If someone were there to quickly remove the board it might have not flooded that bad. Thought what the Hell do I know.

[@martinruddell2682]

[@rockysmart6406]

I hate to see this happen to my favorite town. I sure hope none of those antique nastolgic penny arcade games were damaged.

[@The-Ordinary-Man]

Makes me wonder if the car owner has a "flood damage" rider attached to their insurance policy.......

[@jamescrow4078]

Ooops! Did y'all build all of your structures WAY too CLOSE to the creek? Oopsie daisy.

[@MYGOLDCOIN101]

This place must be near a mountain, lots of momentum in the water.

[@GBFL5475]

It's a mountain town in Colorado, pretty much in the shadow of Pike's Peak.

[@liamoshea1858]

Yes, I can tell you that it is certainly in the mountains.

[@heyitsmags8250]

MYGOLDCOIN101 Manitou springs is at the bottom of Pikes Peak, none as America's Mountain

[@bonniecline5014]

Manitou is IN the mountains! We are in the shadow of Pikes Peak. We are in a pass area-Ute Pass.

[@robertrowland617]

Grew up working bambino pizza. Luv that arcade

watchin' this is kinda like watchin' paint dry🖌

[@tomflink9385]

What a mess. Hope no one is in a hurry

[@DriverMattGames]

The fucking plywood XD

[@KayteaCat217]

Oh wow that's terrible!! I've walked over that bridge.

At least the people are safe

[@jbrabec6811]

You know you could at least MAKE IT LOOK like that grey car exploded or something.

[@halfpint7647]

why would you stand there and watch the flooding when you should be taking cover....smdh

[@vinesauceobscurities]

This ain't a hurricane or tornado. All you need is high ground and you're perfectly fine.

[@ethancunningham2093]

This so sad

[@haroldreardon8070]

Been there, seen that in Manitou. Who owns the silver car ? Who cares, it isn't you. Do they have flood insurance? Who caress, it isn't your car. These are things you have no control over and cannot change. Worry about something you can affect.
