Fascinating to read about this series of flood events at Awatarariki Fanhead in NZ, beginning with the May 2005 event, the repercussions and the council decision to repurchase houses due to insurmountable natural disaster risks. And then to look at Google Maps for Matata and see the changes to the land-use evident (many vacant resumed lot numbers) and on StreetView the one stand-out land-owner in 2021 with signs up "Whakatane Council hands off our homes". There are always deniers!
Great example of how canyons are formed over time. Imagine that going for hundreds of thousands of years on end,... you’d end up with some big canyons. Especially if it’s a softer layer.
Oh my God, look at the way those giant boulders are tossed around like small pebbles... Imagine anyone or any animal being caught in that flow, they would be ground to a pulp...

I am still wondering, where is that water all the time. How it is possible, that will come so big wave at one time? I will expect, that it will gradually increase the intensity of flow, but I could not understand, what exactly "holds" that water and release it in so big wave at one moment.
When it's dry for a while small debris go where the water flows when it rains (I'm talking smaller than a river, imagine the little water flow that goes in a river). And when it finally rains the water will take it's usual course down the mountain, but if it's sudden and a lot of precipitation it will take those small debris with itself at once, but the water will be slowed down by them as if they were a dam. Then when more water comes and adds pressure it will go down hill again. Little by little it takes bigger debris, which need more water to be pushed down the mountain. After a while, if the conditions are right, what you see in the video is the result. You can try it on a small scale for yourself if you want. Find a dry dirt surface that is almost flat an pour a bottle of water in one spot, it should be a thick little stream that is pushing like a small dam.
Holy shit that was scary! I don’t think it was very smart standing there above as it rushed down but hey, u gotta get the perfect angle for people to see the magnitude of it! That thing could’ve easily tossed a couple of them smaller 60-100lbs rocks up in the air and it’s by by camera man! But I did enjoy it though!
@@ButterBallTheOpossum I have not seen this bridge but it's not hard to see our human sense of scale falling flat on it's face when confronted with such an incredible sight!!

To hear all those rocks rollin down, has to be something amazing to witness!!
Just an absolutely unstoppable force.
amount of energy this thing is carrying is horrifying
Such an incredible video. Those multi-ton weighing boulders are being tossed around as if made of cardboard.
Wait until you hear about space

The power of water is amazing. Rolling those boulders like nothing.
Great way to dispose of a body though.
The moment you thought you just took a nap at a quiet brook....
It's all fun and games until the river water becomes more boulders than H2o
This power let me speachless, just wow.
That was a scary spectacle.

YOu can see here they probably cut out this path in the mountain after hundreds of rockslides
I'm sure you can measure this on the Richter scale. And think of the noise!
* thanks for the correction Martin

I'm guessing nobody came here for the "Awatarariki Fanhead Proposed Plan Changes hearing".
(when every living cell holds an ocean within water wants to flow slow)
"It's only a bit of water, what harm could it possible do?"
The immense power!! Wow!😳
Amazing footage

Surf's up . Lets rocking surf!
This is so freaking monsterous force of nature
That escalated rather quickly.
There were some pretty good rocks in that fast flowing slurry.
Wonder if there is any good fish to eat in that stream?
I'd love to see the size of the truck that delivered that load of concrete.!!!
Why didn't anyone have the idea of filming with a drone following the whole path from up there ???
А, что это делают?И почему воды не было?
I’ve seen something very similar in Northern Afghanistan in 2008-2009. It was crazy

That wall of rocks at the front is terrifying. How can a bridge support endure that season after season?
there is probably not a middle support.. that is why. Or, a really big one
Someone was busy clicking photo over there with his flash on.
Wow! That is some power!
That is one intimidating display of nature.
Wow! Just wow!

Flash flood higher in the watershed, this happens in desert areas

Pushing boulders like they were corks.

Wow! Such power. Laxatives not required here.
I'd like to go kayaking on this.

Deus é mais 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Incredible. 💙 T.E.N.
Lahar?

It looks like those rocks at the front of the flow serve as moving dam.
Any fish in it?
Post 10 would be proud
Water, will do as water pleases - obsticle or not
これは上流にダムがあって放流したの？それとも鉄砲水❓
Did you see the guy fishing?
Linda la cabeza de la crecida.👍👍👍😎
If you fell in that you'd be chewed up to the consistency of a smoothie,....Xtra whip cream please
That is so goddamn scary!!
This happened about 12000 years ago but a million times bigger.
About 14,500 years ago, the event has been named the Bonneville flood.
@@Wailwulf I´m talking about the Younger Dryas deluge. The Bonneville flood was a kid´s birthday in comparison.

Nah he was on a super high bridge. The bridge he's on is almost 70 feet high. It just looks close because of the zoom

Sheesh,that looked like a lahar coming down off ruapehu,mean maori mean.

Wow!!!
That wall of water & stone would pulverize a person. They would die from blunt force trauma well before drowning.
Wowwwwww amazing tapi ngeri dan seram air bercampur batu
now that is lethal
Flash flood at 0:48 - Feeling pretty, think I'll toss some 20 ton boulders
....did you hear that?...yes!...amm RUN !!!
The gods of the mountain did not get Pepto after dinner.

My only dream is to swim in that water .... Opposite to stream....
If someone falls in it, the person will be crushed to death.
