Thunderstorms stalled up Johnson Canyon on 7/28/17 late in the afternoon. The heavy rain caused a large flash flood to overwhelm a wash near the top end of the canyon and cause it to flood out a road. Feel free to embed this video onto any site from CZcams, do not re-upload it to the Internet. Yes, this is because I make money from the ads, and no, it is not a lot of money. It helps me cover costs if that. I appreciate it!
Thank you so much for NOT adding music.
Amen to that
@@ratrodrobhall1402 :-)
That would have killed the video. You got that right.
I ll add my own , thank you. Most excellent video . We can hear the water !
@@jimfritz9503 It caused me some sense of awe that things one associates with silence: dirt. branches, water can make so much noise. then i thought about waterfalls...
As always terrific photography. Thanks for just having the natural sounds.
Tc tc tc tc tc tc tc ji, have lots of warm water ji in night milk with turmeric powder ji health is very very importantu ji
My dad grew up in Escalante Ut overlooking the Escalante river. He use to tell us of all the flash floods that would come through town and he was always mindful of where we camped making sure not to be in a flood plain. Thank you for sharing these fantastic shots of flash floods. I finally get to see what he was talking about.
Your dad was telling you the truth. Mostly, we don't have to worry about that because nobody lives there anymore. I live in the tourist town of Springdale Ut and we had a flash flood that reminded people of where we are.
That's a perfect example why you never ever camp in a flood zone always give yourself plenty of time to survey your surroundings and if you see any debris wrapped around trees or down tree limbs never camped there because in seconds as this video shows life could change forever
Alot of people from other areas may not be aware of this. Are the areas posted in some way to alert people?
Trees coming down the road always have the right of way.
The slurry of sticks and sediment folding and rolling over itself is mesmerizing.
These videos have likely saved more than a few lives. Job well done sir!
That’s pretty intense and yes...thanks for no stupid, cheesy background music...completely unnecessary. Very informative.
Just saw this. From AZ and this is an awesome capture of how much debris, tons..literally, just flow so effortlessly down the wash. Nice video
Nice job capturing this from multiple different angles.
For real, most people don't realize the amount of work it takes
randomly popped up on my page, and im not disappointed, never seen a flash flood. impressive thanks for showing
When I was a kid, living out in the desert of Arizona, I remember seeing things like this for the 1st time.
Miami, AZ just had a spectacular flood a few days ago. The news footage looked like the water was flowing 40 MPH through the river beds and not much slower through the middle of town.
No heavy metal head banging music? Just natural water? Huh....so that's what that sounds like. Thank you.
Its been way too long since your last video. Ive always enjoyed them. Water is very powerful and fun to watch!
Matt as long as you are not in it!
Matt Stringham it is absolutely terrifying but awesome...and great to watch from somewhere safe👍
I very much appreciate your documenting these flash floods so those of us who don't live in these areas can see for our own selves how destructive, yet incredible they are. Great camera work.
Hey man. Great footage. This was by far one of the best examples of flash flooding with a still camera. Great job again.
WOW!! I'm a huge weather geek, ever since I was about six...these videos are AMAZING!! Thank you and just WOW again lol. These videos are amazing to watch, but they also provide the public with a much deeper knowledge of what a flash flood is, and what they are capable of doing. Nice videos, and thank you!!
This is why you never, ever, camp in the bottom of an arroyo, gully, canyon, or "dry" creek bed. Rain upstream will be on you faster than you can get out of your tent and run.
That’s amazing. Thank you for such complete coverage from different angles.
I love watching your videos. From the way you frame your shots, to the way you let the natural sounds run; you show the utter force and majesty of Mother Nature.
Your videos are awesome, and so are you: your eye for the best view makes it come alive.
Thank you so much for sharing something I would never see otherwise. 🤗
Yes sir! Great video showing the awesome power of flash flooding. As kids we sometimes went to our Grandma's house in Belen, NM and were told not to play near the arroyos even if we did not see the storms nearby. She told us many children had drowned in them in flash floods like this. And now I see she was not playing.
I don't know why I enjoyed this so much ... but I really did!
David this is a really excellent compilation of footage of flooding that most of us wouldn't have a chance to see for a variety of reasons. I wonder how long those river beds remain flowing; a few days, a week?...and then return to their normally dry state. These floods are clearly important ecological events that move flora and fauna around in ways that would be impossible otherwise. Thanks for your efforts.
I guess it probably depends on the amount of water and terrain, but yeah it's really interesting to think of the benefits to nature when the destruction is more obvious.
Incredible. I'm a gold prospector and its really good to see the way gold moves by watching the trees slam into the sides. Did you know water always moves in straight lines even though it gives the impression that it flows round corners? It moves straight until it can't then bounces of like a snooker ball on a table. When you understand that concept you can put it into practice and find more gold. Like most people think that gold is only on the inside bend but if it's a really tight corner all the heavies will hit the outside bend and pile up then the lighter material will bounce off and keep going until the flow slows down. Test it out and thank me later.
Leave it to humans to monetize ANY F...KN THING.
@@brucegelman5582 what do you mean?
Great video of how things can change in the "DRY" SW in just a few minutes.
That is truly awe inspiring! The force of all of that water coming at once and the debris is almost scary! Always wanted to see a flash flood in person to witness the power of mother nature. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for these videos. As a person who has never seen a flash flood it's good to know what types of conditions to pay attention too when in an unfamiliar environment. Thank you again, and stay safe!
Good to see one from you again. The confluence of the two washes was interesting to see.
Amazing, David... excellent work capturing that footage.
Amazing filming and timing you deserve a double thumbs up if you filmed all these with just one camera. I guess you're at the right place at the right time.
The sound and the power! Thanks for the video.
You are easily impressed as stream not a river
@@baronsorgi1 I grew up in NW AZ. Trust me, they can be rivers. Was one well over 100 feet wide near my childhood home. Pastor of our church was new to town and parked his vehicle in one. Didn't know what rain in the mountains meant. That car was probably rolled 50 times and ended up a mile away.
@@clevelandcbi But did it start ?
you did very well at filming, editing and narrating this. Classic youtube vidya. (Y)
Don't know how I came upon this, but certainly glad I did. Fascinating. Viewing the comments, apparently you do this all the time. Excellent. I'm subscribing.
Wow! That was great, thank you for this footage; the roaring is a powerful reminder of just how quickly that flood water, debris laden and dangerously swift, can come rushing through the landscape out of nowhere on a perfectly quiet, bright blue sky, kind of day.... I grew up in Page, Arizona; absolutely GORGEOUS, serene, incredibly beautiful place to play and respect! Of all the possible dangers, flash flooding is likely to occur when the previous day has seen heavy rains up in the Kaibab; the heavily visited Antelope upper and especially lower slot canyons should absolutely be avoided. The slot canyons, formed through that rushing water, offer no escape and become an instantaneous death trap; by the time you hear it coming, it's too late. Beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, those conditions can be deceiving for tourists who are not familiar with the area. I have never seen a video up close and personal such as this footage; wonderful, I look forward to more of your work!! Thank you so much!!

I never would have thought something like this would occur with how the weather was at that moment. It's beautiful in one sense, yet completely dangerous and deceptive. Thank you for sharing this.
unreal.. i could hear it in the background as you were saying it at the start of the vid.. that was an incredible amount of water in this one wow, even more than buckskin it looks like
Impressive camera work. You really capture the magnitude of the flood.
Brilliant filming man! Just keep yourself safe bro.
Dude! You got some great footage! Right on! Can use this as a teaching moment👍
Maybe next time you know a flash flood may be coming....
Set of an old tent you don't mind loosing along with a few folding chairs and make it look like a camp site.
That would show how quickly things could change in your life and how you need to pick your camp sights carefully.
This footage is fantastic. It seems like you put in a lot of effort finding different filming locations.
The power of Nature and an equally excellent and powerful camerawork !!
It's refreshing to see a river without plastic trash flowing down it.
This is not Asia.
Yeah looks real nice drinking water
Truly awesome. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the sage brush and the strength of a Western rain storm. Neat stuff!
Judging from the quick shot of the water line under the bridge at the beginning, that wash must experience frequent flooding. Thanks for the good documentation.
Thanks for showing this video! Reminds me of when I was young and lived in Moab, UT. I worked out at Texas Gulf & Sulfer were they used hydraulic mining of Potash and pumped the material out into large solar ponds. I ran a Cat scraper picking up and delivering potash from pond to the delivery pit system... One day while driving along to Colorado River to work, I had the pleasure of seeing what a flash flood rain from somewhere had provided in the huge water falls that appeared out of nowhere along the sand stone bluffs that ran along the river road edge! It was truly a sight to behold! I'll never forget what I witnessed that day... Not to long after that, a 100,000 pound block of sand stone fell and blocked the entire road and that day, I was on a motorcycle. I had to nervously wait while they Blasted that sand stone block with dynamite trying to make it small enough to move with dozers and track hoes... There was lots of what looked like "not so stable sand stone blocks" above those of us waiting that stayed up with the blasting, thank God! ;)
I remember driving from Moab to Crescent Junction there was a train that ran to the mine. This was before Charley Stein promised to push his house off the cliff!
This is amazing! Good job on filming.
3:33 These folks should consider themselves very lucky they got there after the flood had come through.
Can you imagine if they were already driving down that road and then all of a sudden they were surrounded by water?
My question is, "What the heck was the older guy going to do with that shovel???? "I was like, "knock it off and get back into your truck you 2."
Great video, excellent work in capturing the flow on various turns...avoiding music was another great feature.
These are excellent videos. For anyone that has never experienced these floods, many think it's a lot of rain water washing down the washes. As they can tell...it sure as hell ain't just water.
Really good video. Great education for those not familiar with the dangers of a wash when it is raining on up the wash.
That was totally awesome to watch! You did a great job of filming the progress of the flood. I could watch that for hours!!! 😁😁😁😁
Sorry. I have a real life.
@@carlschroeder2247 no you dont
Excellent video of a flash flood! Been there, you have awesome perspective shots. So cool.
The power of nature, its different all over the world, we went to a waterfall on Oahu which had warnings every 20 minutes about mud slides, which must be more powerful than water, but no less dangerous.Thank You for the video
Does anyone happen to know what weather radar was at the beginning of the video?
Awesome footage David. I hope the Forrest Service posts this on their website showing the dangers of flash flooding...
Rory-Not Gail: Great film. Like the way you caught it coming around the bends.
Wow such great cinematography. Nice job!
First, thank you for taking your time getting out and filming these. I’ve been watching your videos for quite a bit and I’m fascinated. Thanks for new ones and when possible keep em coming, “weather permitting”.
In my opinion a drone does not give these events justice. Have you ever watched NHRA top fuel drag racing live? TV cannot do it justice, ever. Same thinking.
Lived in Utah for a bit and did some hikes in Zion, Bryce, and escalante. I think promoting flash flood warnings with your videos can help amateur hikers, like myself, understand the power of water. This maybe able to save lives.
I'm always excited to watch ANY new Rankin Studio video! As a bit of a weather nerd, your identification of the climate variable preceding the aftermath, is a quality far more satisfying than just documenting a regionally specific event. HD cameras gives a "You Are There" acuity. SO COOL!!!!!
Thanks :)
L.A. has had a flashflood warning. Are you getting anything from this monsoon moisture today?
WOW ! Thanks for posting I have never seen anything like this before.
that is so cool going from dry land to raging river coming around the curve. looks like bear tracks at one spot. thanks for sharing
Your commentary gave me the ball game feels...thanks.
Thanks for the filming Sir
Very cool. Awesome power. Thank you for sharing. And great job narrating...
I see in the news all the time that campers and hikers get washed away and killed by flash flooding. This video shows how it can happen. Great video.
Amazing video brother. Keep up the great vids!
Would've been nice to know where Johnson Canyon is. I grew up in the desert. NO walking in washes was drilled into me.
Hey thanks! I have never seen this and I often wondered how fast those arroyo's could move!
We saw Clear Creek, right out of Winslow running 20 feet higher than normal. It was rolling and truly scary. Trees, brush and fast water.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with all.
I noticed the river bed was quite clean. Is there are massive amount of debris at the end that needs cleaning up? Any footage?
This is AWESOME, thanks for sharing, greetings from North Michigan, USA
Amazing footage. Well done, sir.
A force of nature not many get to see. Awesome! Thank you for your video and stay safe.
Enjoyed this video, interesting content , great quality filming & picture! 👍🏼
Very Nicely Done Video! Excellent. I'm in Washington next to St. George.
nice job showing how the water can come all at once it was awesome good filming thanks
There's a monument erected in a creek bed outside of Rockwood Tn on highway 27 for a troop of boy scouts that camped there in 1929.. It rained really hard in the mountains that night and drowned several of them.
thanks yt for the random rec enjoyed it
Great job filming this !
Thanks for showing us the flash flood I've never seen anything like that thank you
Awesome shots and great editing.
Great as always Dave. I really hope to stumble onto one of these events someday. Any place around Staircase/Escalante where they happen? I'm out there every year at some point and would go out of my way to see one.
LUVED your video. The far back shot that gives you a point of reference. Some start at water level, you don't know if it's 3 ft wide or 23!!! Loved the different locations and different view points. Excellent video!
Nobody ever shows the tail end. How quickly, or slowly, does a flash flood end?
Such a beautiful places! Thank you for sharing the vid!
I really enjoyed this and your explanations. Thank you!
Is there a possibility to emty out dams earlier so that snowmelting time is better antisipated?
It’s an amazing force if nature, but a question I have is where does the initial debris picked up and pushed by the water end up? Does it just peter out and get left in the channel far down stream, or is there a lake or river it flows into. Just curious....
@3:30, rain pouring down way out near the mountains. Great video. Stay safe.
what amazing video! Great footage and angles, nice work!
Wow, great vlog. Thank you, Jim
Dude great vid! Can you do a follow up on what the wash looks like after?
How are you able to get in front of it from so many locations
Thats so crazy. Hopefully the water makes it into a holding pond, lake, ect. So much water everywhere. Awesome video, stay safe.
That is scary. I hiked through a dried riverbed in Tucson some years ago and glad something like this did not happen.
Where does all the wood come from how dos it get in a drift as it is here
There was one of those Survivor shows quite a few years back. I cracked up when one guy insisted the gravel area between where two creeks come together would be a great place to make camp. Overnight, he learned how all those rocks got there as he woke up getting flooded out and his gear all washed away. That was some good TV right there, I’ll tell ya!
Very nice camera work. Thank you.
