I lived in Phoenix as a young adult. When I moved to Ohio, I would get very strange looks from friends and family when we drove over a river because I would yell excitedly "Look, there's water!!" It took me a while to realize that, in Ohio, river beds always have water in them.
That's just like several years ago, we had relatives come up from South Florida to visit us just outside of Pittsburgh. This included a niece and nephew, ages 7 and 9, who had never been north of Disney World. Now just in back of our house is a little bank that gently slopes 5-10 feet in height down into our back yard proper. Those two kids had the time of their lives running up and down that bank over and over again, and I'm talking about the better part of an hour, it being the biggest "hill" they'd ever walked on.
I am an Arizonian. I have been to Ohio many times. I have seen the constant rivers there. Here in AZ river beds run for short times, otherwise are merely gravel and sand patrolled by coyotes and rattlesnakes. I love Zona, desert, hot summers, mild winters!
The kids reactions while they were learning at the same time. Very fun to hear!! They were so excited while the father was just amazed!! Thanks for sharing this moment.
Amazing how a complete family just stands there with NO idea where this deluge is coming from or how large it will grow. The next thing you read is that an entire family is wiped out.
Amazing how a complete stranger just sprouts nonsense on youtube. Next thing you know we're hearing from experts who have watch dozens of videos on the internet to supersede anybody who actually lives there.
I always love going to a rivers edge of a dry river bed and waiting for the rushing water, I love when I can hear it coming, always do this after every hard rain. Great video!
You definitely need to scout out the area around you before doing something like this and maintain a lot of constant situational awareness lest you find yourself cut off from every escape back to safety. Water could be creeping up around you from anywhere during a flash flood like this, and once it’s already flowing by you, you’re not going to hear it coming from somewhere else anymore. They are very cool to watch, but I was in the 500 year flooding in Longmont, Colorado several years ago and what started out as just a small-ish stream that was a little higher than normal and overflowing its banks going under a bridge with a bunch of people standing on it looking out over it turned into a 2.5 mile wide river overflowing that bridge that kept flowing at that rate for nearly 10 days in a matter of just 5 minutes. It is advisable to never, ever take a flash flood lightly, even if what you can see seems very small and easily escaped. It may be that way in that moment, but it doesn’t mean that it will still be that way in 30 seconds. Glad you were able to do this one safely and help teach your kids the power of nature, and share it with the rest of the world here so we can all see safely.
Damm that's crazy. On the Rez here on Navajo Nation we gots floods to we're water run threw now. All the washes fill up past few storm's. Yupp but anyway. Love ur video 🤩. Showing my love from AZ Navajo Nation 🙏🙏🙏🙏
91 was a wet year in Phoenix and all of the dry rivers were flooded.The Salt was huge that year and everything was so green.It sent tons of garbage all the way to Mexico.
I used to live in Moon Valley Gardens just north of Shaw Butte. There's an unnamed wash that runs from the MV Country Club behind the house 2 blocks away towards Cave Creek (the actual creek, not the town). Anytime there was significant rainfall I'd go out along w/ others in the 'hood & watch the water flow towards the canal that would eventually divert the water to treatment plants so we could use it later. Now I live in Portland, Oregon where water's taken for granted cause it flows all the time.
Ussually the the camera man records shots that you don't wana see panning away.. every second of this was something i wanted to see.. the best flood cameraman has been found.
Really cool I really enjoyed it and felt as if I was right there with that kid . His voice is identical to someone I used to babysit a long time ago . Too many people don't take the power of water seriously and they don't understand what a flash flood really is but watching this might drive some fear into some people who need it to think they are always impervious to any kind of danger
Hello Adam Tilley, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
The water flowing over the steps was very exciting. It’s amazing how these floods can quickly develop, beautiful and dangerous. As much as it’s an adventure and a learning experience, it is very important to also educate the boys on the keeping a safe distance from any avenue, the water can possibly flow from, such as the road they are standing on. What a memory maker for the family .
I saw this wash on that day, but the flow was not what your video shows. I haven't seen water flowing down that wash like that for over 25 years. Thanks for posting the video. Nothing better than seeing water flowing down a wash in Phoenix, in the Summer time.
because the engineers who built this city calculated everything correctly. but if you go to India or to any white country, there are always floods, landslides, fires, etc
Exactly, that is why the oceans are now littered with plastic. Well done certain uncaring people of Phoenix. May i suggest that some of you band together and run a creek clean up twice a year to remove the crap that certain parties dump because they do not give a shit about the environment.
there is infact a nursery upstream lol. upstream goes through alot of recent construction so im sure some stuff blew away into the desert overtime and the right big storm came
Live in Phoenix as well. The not only moves fast but gets deep real quick as well. Several years back going to my second job midnight shift had to cross under the I-17 over pass at Bell Rd. Had a 98 chevy Silverado 4×4. State boys were on both sides telling cars not to go through. I had to to get to work. There were 3 cars under the over pass preaty much submerged. I drove through and the water rollwd up over the jood of my truck, just kept a constant hugh idle and made it to the other side.
In Central Illinois, we never see floods like this. However, there are several viaducts that are so dangerous, after a heavy rain, that whoever drives into it, is not coming out unless they know how to respond when the car is submerged.
When I was a kid living with my family in Glob Arizona we had a flash food. Police came into the movie theater screaming get to high ground now. I remember running with my mother. The pictures of the aftermath were scary. I’m so old,I think it was before recorded time. lol.
Es el flash flood más grande que he visto que gran video es increíble éste fenómeno, mi pregunta es como fluye de dónde viene a qué se debe, saludos y abrazos desde Nayarit México
Hola! Are you asking why the water comes to this one area? The ground here in AZ is hard and will not absorb the rain water. The water collects and then creates these flash floods. The water is guided to special drainage areas such as this one. Then most lead the the Salt Water River Canal, owned by our power company SRP.
It is amazing how it goes from nothing to such a large volume of water so quickly. Would love to see the water receding, I imagine it recedes and goes away as quickly as it came?
It's flowing down to a giant flood plain north of a dam. Sport fields, RC airport, and desert scrub. Where the dam meets the mountain/hill is an outlet that reduces the flow into the valley.
I live in North Phoenix foothills, and I have a dry wash that runs like this every summer. Like having a creek next to your house. It is fun to watch. The downside is it will wash down all the snakes and scorpions from the top of the hill. That is a bitch to deal with.
@@christinehutchins123 Not really. I have spent years creating rock paths for run-offs from all sides of my house from the hill sides. My house never gets flooded. If you live on a hillside you better know how the rain can flood your house. My biggest fear is all the greenery growing on the hillside that will eventually dry and become tinder for a fire. But if you understand that, you will need to clear a large area arround your home from the weeds.
@@dannyruiz6868 I was joking. I'm sure there are many reasons to enjoy where you are, and you know what to expect and how to handle it,so you are good.😀
Just think if they had built thousands of water retention structures further uphill and allowed the water to soak in over time their water table would be higher for longer
When Post 10 unclogs a culvert upstream.
And I wonder how many get the joke. Post 10 is a great channel to follow

Thats funny. Yes we get excited for water here for sure. 99% dry and 1% wet.

lol as an Aussie, most of our river beds/creeks tend to be dry, one rain comes and boom instant fill lol.

They know where it is coming from, dopey.
It's coming from the north and will flow under the bridge to the south to the large field before the dam. Do you even go outside?
Amazing how a complete stranger just sprouts nonsense on youtube. Next thing you know we're hearing from experts who have watch dozens of videos on the internet to supersede anybody who actually lives there.
I would travel across the country just to see this live. Amazing how big it eventually got. Thanks Adam.

You were lucky to have been able to back up from the edge this time. Next time use cation in that area because It's been known to swarm that area
yes!!!

Does no one think it was dangerous to have the kids that close?
As well as a bridge 20 ft higher out of the reach of a sudden surge....but morons only see the "thrill " of a near death experience

seeing rain in phoenix always makes me happy
91 was a wet year in Phoenix and all of the dry rivers were flooded.The Salt was huge that year and everything was so green.It sent tons of garbage all the way to Mexico.
It's amazing how it comes from somewhere else like that. That's a lot of water
That is why in the southwest of America they have bridges over dryland which
puzzled me until the rains come.
I know, bridges over dry land and creeks that don't have water - - - until they do.
Kids reaction made this better. Good lesson for them on playing in washes.
Amazing video of a quick-moving Flash Flood and I have lived here in Phoneix for 55 years and have never seen one up close.

That's why you're still alive.
I go out biking when it happens.
Wow - excellent job sir. And a great lesson for your kids as well - beware of flash floods and fast moving water!
Thank you for Posting this! Flash floods are no joke
Ussually the the camera man records shots that you don't wana see panning away.. every second of this was something i wanted to see.. the best flood cameraman has been found.
Great job filming. I've never seen anything like that. Fasinating.
I used to live right there I remember in the early 90's a bad flood that came thru my dad was down there helping people get out of the water
Really cool I really enjoyed it and felt as if I was right there with that kid .
His voice is identical to someone I used to babysit a long time ago .

Boa tarde daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👍 o que vc disse sobre a natureza é isso mesmo linda mais também tem seus perigos 👏
Very cool. I've lived here 40 years and never have seen that.
I respect water and whatever lives in it.
Hello

I lived in Phoenix for 23yrs. I loved there. Had to move back to Ohio to help with my elderly parents. Lived in buckeye.

This "stairway to nowhere" out in the open looks odd, but of course it serves a different function, as seen here.
Good to see water flowing in the desert.
Flood: "How nice of you guys to put some steps in for me to go down to the flood ditch. Thanks! I'ma bring my trash with me."
Keep the excited kids away from the slope as it's probably very dangerous to slip down into the fast flowing water.
Nah, let 'em go swimming.
Taking your kids out to see it is excellent! :)
Saludos bendiciones desde Houston Texas 🙏🤗🤗🤗
I respect Mother Nature 🙏🙏❤️❤️🌺
Those suddent floods in arid climate reminds me of my childhood friends ...the year 95 they were passed away
We here in Tonto Basin got hit really hard this year with flooding..we have had mud slides everywhere up here.. stay safe

Does Phoenix harvest the water?
@@dorothysimpson7040 Are you paying the workers to harvest it?
impeccable timing on its arrival😁👍
Great video that's alot of water
Wow thanks for sharing
I find this relaxing for some reason...
Just one word i Can think of WOW awesome video
I wonder if the state will ever wise up and create catchment basins instead of just wanting to get rid of any excess water as quickly as possible.
There are tons of catchment basins all over the valley
Outstanding camera work!
That was great.
from the look of the pebbles near where they're standing a lot of even bigger flash floods have happened in the past
Looking forward for this season
Slows the water up enough to keep the bridge from getting washed out.
Awesome job Dad! Best thing for boys to be out on the adventure with their dad.
Impressive! What a cool thing to experience. I wonder if there is a nursery upstream, a lot of plastic pots in that flow...
Exactly, that is why the oceans are now littered with plastic. Well done certain uncaring people of Phoenix.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Again.
Wow you such a smart parent bringing your kids. Great example you are to your kids.
Not my kids. But thanks for the comment.
Its just a little rain lol. What is a bad example about that lol? Not sure why you are upset?

WOW!!! VERY AWESOMENESS FOOTAGE!!! What a KOOL moment with your kids. Also, yes this is a Post10 aftermath even lol!!!
It would help to have some context about where this river bed comes from and where it goes. Is it dry most of the time and are these events normal?
They need to route this water to Lake Mead!
35th Ave and Pinnacle Peak Rd, North side just West of the Intersection?
Mother Nature’s way of flushing the toilet. Carefree & Cave creek have more trash laying around than I would have guessed!
thanks for nice vedio
Where did all,those buckets come from?
It is amazing how it goes from nothing to such a large volume of water so quickly.
Would love to see the water receding, I imagine it recedes and goes away as quickly as it came?
This looks fun to kayak in
We don’t get this level of flooding in Ahwahtukee, but it’s still very cool to see. People don’t realize how bad flooding can be in a desert lol.
I love watching all the litter washing by. Ah, Nature.
So sad that an aea as dry as Arizona does not do something to harvest the water. They just let it run off and it. Is gone forever.
Looks like a great ground sluice to 🤫
Thats an insane amount of water, just pure crazy, what was it like further downstream, that's mental right place right time

Few things are as scary as flash floods. In my country people die every year trying to cross such rivers
Just think if they had built thousands of water retention structures further uphill and allowed the water to soak in over time their water table would be higher for longer
Where are the plastic bottles like in the other flood videos? Have they been phtoshopped out? [asking for a friend]
No photoshop.
I live a mile from here, can confirm it can get this bad
I like how all that garbage fits into the landscape to
New River?
