Flash Flood Video

This is a great video of a flash flood happening.

The actual speed of this flood is not as fast as I thought. I guess I am a little spoiled because I think that flash means it is instantaneous.

However, the more that I think about it, if I saw this coming toward my house, it would be plenty fast.

The real amazing thing here is the pure power that is so obvious. This little river is giving no sign of what is about to arrive and I find that absolutely fascinating when that happens. I guess I have the "invincible youth" syndrome where I am pretty convinced that I will not die no matter what little warning is flashing across the bottom of my TV screen. (Flash flood was always the least scary to me)

However, after seeing this, I definitely will be wary! The water just comes from nowhere and rips everything in its path apart.

PS- the reason I posted this is that on tuesday we are going to begin talking about extreme weather.





Happy Earth Day!
