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. You DO have some historical high watermarks with the banks. I think you'd be darn near dead if you fell into that, you'd be beaten to crap with those rocks, fast.

"Flood Fronts" in Australia would have thousands of dead trees, and ground litter at the front of any wave. Millions of tonnes would appear 10 metres high before you say any water.

[@Tindometari]

In the American Southwest, you'll find dry washes all over the place. They're fascinating places, full of great cobbles, very inviting places for off-road driving and camping ... ... except. Let a thunderstorm blow up thirty miles upstream, far enough away that there's not a cloud in the sky where you are, and about an hour later the flash flood will hit. And when you're *in* the dry wash, there often isn't an easy or quick way for a vehicle to get out. That's why locals -- or anyone who's seen how fast a wash can fill with churning debris-laden water -- know that you don't hang out in a dry wash. You cross one quick. You drive along it up on the bank. You camp above it -- but you don't spend more time *in* it than you absolutely have to. Even if it's a hot dry day.

[@viperus1234]

@@Tindometari made the antelope slot canyons, the Zions park slot hike and the best, the Buckskin Gulch trail ... love it ...

[@user-ii9ej2iq1s]

It's form of flash flood. The debris flow starts with rain on the mountain, which collects between the mountains and runs down the channel like a river. But the source is the rain, and sooner or later it stops. Thus the channel dries up between rains. All the debris originates from the side of the mountain that collapsed long ago. Look at his other videos, and Google Illgraben. It's fascinating.
