Never Stop Chasing.

[@moochiesmum]

I loved this video!! I am a Native Arizonan so flash floods are in my blood. I don't think the average person realizes how dangerous and sudden they are. But, thank God for the rain, we can maintain a very large population in a desert because of the tributaries and the runoff into larger waterways!! Thank you for sharing this footage, we'll done!

[@lyge3854]

They are dangerous alright

[@youtubegm8256]

This is an amazing format that is really growing on me. Like a slideshow of information mixed with multiple views and in depth explanation with high detail and notations. Great job Reed.

[@BrianWhite06]

Thought the same thing, love this format

[@noragodley1270]

I’ve been watching you chase tornados for years. I love seeing you here in my AZ backyard showing us the monsoons!

[@20PINKluvr]

Monsoon storms

[@mtn_towd]

Witnessing any flash flood is always a cool thing to see even on a mini scale!

[@NephewJamie]

Any weather phenomenon whether it be a flash flood or snow lightning it’s truly remarkable when you get to experience weather firsthand it’s a whole different feeling!!!

[@fitzventure]

Lived in AZ my whole life. We learned to fear the flash flood, but it's really interesting to see them in action.

[@shAnn0n1]

I saw a video of a family driving through a canyon to park up and take a hike, but it started to rain and flash flood. The family quickly got back into their vehicle, and started to drive back out, but the waters were getting deeper and deeper, so the father decided to drive onto a small elevated island and wait it out. As they sat in the vehicle waiting, they saw another family in a compact car floating backwards in the flood waters, they slammed into an overhang of rocks, but they were actually saved from getting stuck because of the force of the waters pushing them. Rescue had gotten to the family stuck on an elevated island, the mom and kids were flown out by helicopter, while the dad waited for an all terrain vehicle to pull his truck back onto the road. It was an AMAZING story, just look on KZbin for the family stuck in Utah's national canyon.

[@faheyplayer]

You described this accurately. Remarkable video. I think it was Capitol Reef.

[@pkorns1892]

Yeah, I watched the same one a few days ago! That was wild!

[@tthappyrock368]

I saw that one too! It is miraculous that no one who had gone into the canyon that day was killed or seriously injured!

[@MactheHusky]

I've definitely seen that video! Crazy! With the helicopter right!?

[@MrJordanwain]

I saw this too. The father did an amazing job protecting his family!! And he even got to drive his truck out.

[@TheVancePants]

"Enjoy the ooze" has got to be the best way to describe beautiful debris flow videos 👍

[@tommunyon2874]

All these active, overhead shots are a great way to see these floods from another perspective.

[@KennethHastings]

It’s awesome to see you out here covering the floods. It’s a great info for people to have. It still blow my mind how many people don’t get it. You are doing a good service. Keep it up. Been a fan since the old days!

[@lesleyM84]

when i was young, we’d have tremendous rainstorms that sometimes would produce actual waterfalls on Mummy Mountain! Absolutely thrilling!! I SO MISS my free range, no other homes then, mountain …. it was my constant companion of intrigue and exploration..

[@AndisweatherCenter]

This monsoon season is one of the most intense I have ever seen. Las Vegas got absolutely flooded just a few weeks ago. And Lake Mead actually rose several feet because of all the rain. And now The region is getting more rain because of Kay’s moisture and remnants.

[@whoever6458]

I've seen lots of these. I grew up on a hillside that had a wash running through the valley. Whenever it would rain a lot, we'd all ride our bikes down to see how much the wash had come up once it wasn't raining too hard. I've seen the water eroding at the banks of the wash several times and even lapping at the bottom of the bridge.

[@maddieadams75]

I’ve been in Az 29 yrs, this last 2+ weeks has been most rain I’ve seen in 7 yrs….

[@polywoggins]

Really what about 2014?

[@apollosaturn5]

Suddenly I'm in the mood for a Nutella chocolate shake.

[@mackdog3270]

I've seen Arizonan rains, and it was pretty intense. Nothing compared to a couple of years ago in southern Utah, that was apocalyptic. Blinding rains, ice, high wind gusts. I was reduced to driving 20 mph on the 15, and the only reason I stayed on the road was because of the trucker right in front of me. I think some hikers bought the farm in the canyons nearby. Thank goodness for Beaver, UT.

[@mommaseesall4270]

Reed, I love how you have diversified your incredible knowledge of "intense weather" to include Monsoons in addition to your infamous Tornado coverage. It was a Brilliant decision. But that's not all ...The free videos you are providing to the public via KZbin, I know are making a Huge impact on students of all ages. In addition, children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to understand and learn how intense weather impacts their lives and future, are able learn from your new EXCITING videos ! WOW! How cool is that?! I encourage everyone to like and share your videos to generate donations for you to keep up the great content! ps. love the haircut, your looking great! "keep dominating" 🌪😮

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

Well done Reed. I have been watching your videos for many years. This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. It is beautiful, unique and informative. The music was perfect. Just as I was starting to wish I could hear the wash as it went by, the music faded and we could hear the flood. I hope to see many more videos of natural events like this in the future. Truly amazing.

[@discoverdata5832]

Those straight-line ways are amazing! It's like a flash flood on top of a flash flood.

[@Calmdowndude]

I miss the monsoon season there, wish I was home to witness the beauty of it.

[@lesleyM84]

absolutely gorgeous lands and epic raging rain water captures!!!!!

[@milt6208]

I'm also in Northern Arizona and the thunder is intense and rain keeps coming down. What a great monsoon this year. Everything greened up for a little while. Then we go back to the desert we are. Can't wait for the little snow we get up here.

[@danielevans3932]

Gotta say these flash floods are enough for me to take a step back and watch in awe!!!

[@whimsygrove9971]

This is fascinating! It would be so cool to live in a place that has these regular flash floods in the washes. I'd be out there watching the surge of the water every day!

[@gafairbanks2434]

Definitely, today's weather patterns are showing us how the rock formations have formed over millions of years. Interesting, everything has its story. All we can do is learn once again from all the experiences given us by nature.

[@rflatley8029]

excellent drone footage. So well put together and your narration is up beat, informative, and interesting. thank you

[@christianm4459]

I love the beats of the music that you put in the video

[@MHarenArt]

Excellent and fascinating video, especially the drone footage which allows getting so close to the action!

[@donnavorce8856]

Fabulous footage and information. Thank you. Makes me want to take a drive over to Arizona.

[@MzVicky]

Great educational video Reed . I love these new videos from you and Brian touches make them very professional.

[@paulpulver3877]

A fascinating subject and your drone work is superb! What a terrific example of technology giving us a new glimpse into the amazing things found in the world.

[@darlenelightfoot]

Just caught mud and thunder Very nice👍🏽

[@franciscoribeiro6034]

A força da natureza é. fantástica!

[@danielkaiser8971]

There is something about nature that keeps me in a state of awe. I'm used to tornadoes in Oklahoma, but Arizona has it's own magnificent weather phenomena. Awesome video footage, thank you.

[@clivepetty2338]

Very interesting, especially the speed at which a flood can build

[@stevemarshall3481]

Wow, the effort you put into production and editing of your videos is 2nd to none, well done sir 👏 👏 👏

[@mphocollenmaaboyi4215]

That is how grand canon was created

[@rkhyden1950]

Reed, great video. I just love your work. If your by your self, please be careful.

[@USAF_Medic]

I was stationed with a Capt Timmer in the 70's at the USAF Academy. he was our Radiologist. A great guy. We didn't learn Officer's first names usually. I haven't heard the name Timmer in years.

[@juliatara704]

Striking nature!.I never thought this kind of flash flood existed. TYVM for sharing your (dangerous) experience

[@glenwarrengeology]

Fascinating, I enjoyed this video.

[@lkelect1cal]

Great shots of the actual different water flows on the sediment, never seen that before.

[@elvirareis9634]

Prayers for water needed.

[@johnmiguel7666]

Ciao Reed: I lived outside Tuscon at Marana for several years in the 60's...had to commute every day into town for my bank job...summers I never knew if I'd make it back home either late, or not at all...could be sunny and hot in Tuscon, but storming in the hills...usually there was a police officer stopping traffic when the washes were active...saw a yellow Volks with a lady inside get swept away right in front of me...they found the car a few miles downstream...her body much farther down...the power of the water was amazing...loved watching your work on these events...very well done...but please be careful!

[@jddr.jkindle9708]

Thanks 4 sharing the beauty of nature!

[@hessex1899]

Now I have Mastodon stuck in my head and it as amazing. Thank you. :)

[@pimpogrenudo1]

Excellent footage. Great drone views.

[@bubcatblues4751]

Wow that got big and fast quick

[@vickimiller5785]

Educating, interesting and entertaining all at the same time. Thank you. You have earned a 'sub'.🙂

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Thank you for subscribing to Team Dominator

[@louisapadilla2310]

I always loved watching the arroyos in my part of the southwest. It amazing how much earth the water will move. I live in a river canyon at the base of a mesa with many channels coming down. Keeping our dirt roads to our homes cleared during monsoon season is fun.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Did you live in AZ?

[@louisapadilla2310]

New Mexico

[@justaninja1]

Those tidbits are interesting but they disappear too fast. It would be good if you could leave them up for 3-4 more seconds.

[@rondias6625]

Farout !! What an interesting way to spend time stepping out of the tornado box ! Just amazing how fast and powerful these can be

[@ReedTimmerWx]

More flash flood chasing tomorrow

[@rondias6625]

@@ReedTimmerWx 👍✌️

[@paulmadkow9143]

I'm RVing in kingman AZ. These storms are crazy. Great video content!

[@nathanmccreery914]

I have seen these up close and personal out in the desert. The rain brings life, so it's always welcome. But you had better be out of the way when these come down the wash, and this is a small one. I have seen them with full size cottonwoods that were washed out by the roots. Amazing things to see.

[@KimBrat702]

I live in Las Vegas now. Miracle Mile flash flood was so bad. It eroded the walls of the wash. A trailer park. Miracle Mile. Some fell into the wash. I always worry when I see rain clouds like this and being out in the desert. I always watch. Thank you for this!

[@daniellebolner1995]

Whoever edited this did a great job. A lot different from Reeds normal uploads. Love it

[@leonardfibigerlewis]

I agree, but the music should be used sparingly. Because this is about nature, one should hear the sound of the powerfull flows more frequently.

[@philtucker1224]

I’m sure he does it all himself actually…

[@MichaelLee-dt1iw]

Bro! Excellent video! Love the production…the mapping, the drone footage, the music and most of all the explanations. Great teaching aide!

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. I lived in Arizona for 11 years. I'm glad it's done.

[@alfredoramirez-uw5ub]

Cool channel.

[@bridgetjentzsch3226]

Those are sooo awesome. I lived in Scottsdale and when the washes flooded, they were raging rivers. Powerful.

[@TeKnoVKNG23]

Informative vid with some amazing drone footage!

[@KensGarage1]

Looks like a horror movie that blob of stuff at the beginning. Great video.

[@stevenjacobs3559]

Great video!

Those glasses are absolutely RIDICULOUS

Nice drone work.

[@charliebrooks2570]

Very cool catch! Love the drone footage!

[@rapturebound197]

Amazing video and commentary. This is my first time watching one of these flash flood videos. This is real reporting.. and worlds better than weather news you get on the MSM. Drone footage is amazing. Thanx and Good job 👍

[@woody95124]

Your very very knowledgeable..Enjoy your videos..

[@mustangracer5124]

Looks like the flash flood started in a dry lake bed.. very fine silt.

[@scottcahala7779]

Awesome video.

[@christinabrown7308]

The ripples one the last one were so weird.

[@jillys3689]

Beautiful work.

[@TrueRealityYT]

so cool, love your videos

[@DebbyShoemaker]

8:33 The undulation is beautiful. Like a living thing.

[@JeepUSMC]

Ya we were out 4x4 and it hit us in seconds with 0 warnings on our phone. A few months ago in the chakawalla mountains. I have a few videos on my channel of the flood that was coming at us as we entered the wash. Then had to put run it and cross it a few more times to get out in a jeep compass trail-hawk 😅 Ended up losing my jeep engine in 3 ft of water but luckily had my boys with me to pull me out. Crazy stuff man. I'm in AZ also so I'm all too familiar with flash floods but that was crazy.... lol I turn around real quick when I saw the water lol. Keep the videos coming they are awesome.

[@frankierizzo8516]

Those viper glasses! as soon as i saw them i knew this was going to be a good video.

[@barbarianland]

My girlfriend and I got caught out and had to cross a flash flood in Fish and Owl Creek in Utah early spring. Water was ankle deep when we crossed initially, up to about 4’-5’ when we had to cross. In the flow for a minute or two maybe, hypothermia set in quick… Crazy stuff, great footage you got there, thanks for sharing!!!

[@NBM397]

Sheesh! I'm definitely going to camp up high when going bike touring with my kid!

[@bestamerica]

' wow beautifully heavy rainy to floody muddy on the river

[@staceym7940]

My boys are home schooled and I use alot of your videos for teaching moments!!!

[@alicemcdonald7358]

You have a love of adventure ❤

[@NeonBeeCat]

thats what i call a flash MUD

[@markrouse2416]

8:17 Is a good example how topography can give the illusion of water running upstream.

[@knaz7468]

Fascinating! I can't get enough of your videos on these flash floods. I was just in all those areas earlier this winter/spring (I live on the road) and am trying to learn how to avoid these phenomenon.

[@bbithica26]

So interesting! Thank you 😊

[@coldsteelrail1123]

Reed Timmer PHD ....

[@zardox78]

My first couple of times through Arizona I got a big kick out of the fact that they actually give names to their dry mud-puddles. I guess when you have no rivers to name you have make do.

[@dollyhewett2553]

AMAZING....

[@kari8187]

Thank you for this, it’s great!

[@markmaki4460]

Best viewed with sound off.

[@carltuckerson7718]

Watching as a geologist. Thank you for sharing, Reed.

wow! just imgine now the water to rim of those mountains!
