Dag, you still with us?

that's a lot of brown water
you sure it's a flash flood and not a flush flood?

Great footage, but this is very dangerous. Flash floods can flash higher and it doesn't have to be raining; something changes upstream then whamo, 2 feet becomes 8 feet and your dead. Friend of mine is a rescue diver and he snatches corpses of kids like these all the time, tragic.

It also subsides amazingly fast. I can't really read the numbers there, but it looks like one frame per minute, making this whole flash flood about 10 minutes in length.

Not sure what's more terrifying. The flash flood or that man's outfit.

More flash flooding...
