That's outrageous footage. Looks like wet concrete with the biggest aggregate ever. One thing about being in front of that flow, you never know how far, fast, and high it could get.

What are the parameters that determine the periodicity of the flow surges? How do total flow volume, flow viscosity, particle size, % water to solids, clay percentage, etc govern the time between surge peaks?

that was amazing to the youtuber who filmed this if it's possible i would like to see the source of all that debree . and where did end up . how long did it continue after the camera shut off. is there the potential for more from the same spot . and why is there so much of this happening

[@longbowshooter5291]

The source is the mountains you see in the background. During the winter the rock cliffs gets water down in the cracks and fissures that will freeze and cause huge rock slides and boulders to fall into the valleys, then come the spring thaw and rain all that water is channeled down into the waterways and build up speed and force as it descends. Looking at the foliage it looks like this happened in mid to late summer, so there wasn't as many rocks and boulders washed out in this one. The first ones in spring would sweep out all the debris that built up over the winter months, there would be way more rocks swept up in it, there weren't all that many boulders in this one.
