3 Flash Flood INTERCEPTS Monsoon Season in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah! 

Moab got hit on Saturday night and it put down like 2.5 inches in 25 minutes. Flooded a big chunk of town.

As former AZ residents, we never tire of seeing the beauty and danger of the monsoon storms. If anyone is in the area, the washes along the Sonoran Desert Parkway in North Phoenix get wild! Enjoy the SW, Dr. Timmer!

I'm really loving this calmer reporting, thank you, Reed Timmer! The emergency is still evident in your presentation but now I can hear every word.

I’ve lived in the southwest for 16 years. This is my second summer in AZ and I never get tired of these monsoons. So beautiful!

The wonderful thing about a good monsoon season is the greening of the desert. I just had a nice day drive in the mountains south of Tucson and it was dang near a lush jungle in comparison to the usual brown colors of the drier seasons. Sure, I had to deal with some rough (dried out) washes and some sand on the paved highways, but absolutely worth it.

thank you for coming west.

Incredible! Astonishing to see how the desert landscape changes in seconds

3:28 I really appreciate the oversized mirrored Oakleys - that way we can see the reflection of him rear-ending another car while driving and filming himself with a handheld.

Good content and decent photography. Thanks, Reed, you never disappoint.

Thank you for showing Flagstaff and the SW some monsoon love

So that's where all the rain went. It sure isn't in Texas.

Sorry missed the premiere. I’m here now though. 😄

I hope all that rain helps out. I imagine it's going to be beautiful in a few weeks when landscapes become green and blooming.

Never thought I’d see my town, Black Canyon City, on a Reed Timmer video!! Lovin’ the drone footage!

My brother and 4 others were killed back in 79 when a flash flood hit the highway at night. They were coming back from Prescott so you all be careful out there.

Excellent, EXCELLENT video! Thank you Dr. Reed ... NEVER stop chasing ... be safe! D.🌻

@Flextape Dr. Timmer needs a new ball cap, he has been working HARD for months and it shows!😍😍

Dang...That debris flow at 1.54 really shows how long it had been since rain last hit that area! Desert storms maybe crazy but I will take anything we can het right now and fingers crossed for good snowpack up in the Rockies this year and many more to come.

I am so very glad that you folks do these videos to show those natural wonders, to us who live distance away

What an active monsoon season in Mesquite, NV. and the surrounding area. Even had 2 small tornadoes on the ground in the desert area around mile marker 109 on Interstate 15, west of town. Thanks for visiting, I'm a frequent follower. Never Stop !!

Reed, I would love it if you could explain how the clouds actually hold the rain considering when you fly through a cloud it looks like a fog and not something you would think could hold rain since it is not dense enough or thick enough for my mind to understand how it is holding water.... it just doesn't look like it would/could. Thank you!

I miss the monsoon season we use to get here in SoCal. I've noticed since last decade there's been monster storm systems out in the Pacific where they flow freely with no anomalies but once it got close to southern California they either disintegrated or diverted around Baja and proceed normally across the rest of the nation. Rancher friends have noticed that too!

Super cool Reed. Thanks you wild weather chaser 😁

Thank you for these videos, I'm always amazed at the beauty and power of the desert. Nice you get to chase storms and have a cold Pacifico, you can't hide my favorite beer.

Awesome video, thanks for that view 👍😙

I somehow have been craving flash flood content lately. Its just such a strange and fun phenomena to watch. Somehow found your channel and its been super cool to see them all!

Oh wow. Beautiful with all the “waterfalls” but scary.

Vegas has monsoon season? Who knew? Nice & interesting footage. Thank you.

Reed, great videos. When are you going to make it out to New Mexico. We have had some big flash floods from major burn scars. Next week is looking very wet too!

Yesterday afternoon here in scottsdale there was an extreme storm that came out of nowhere

Should have seen the one in Scottsdale, AZ last night. Trapped a gal on top of a wall at the skate park. One minute skating, the next a 4-5' wall of water all around her. Had to call rescue-copter to get her out. Great videos Reed. Fan of you.

Very interesting, nothing like an on the ground look at the front edge of a flash flood! Great Job Reed!!

We have not seen a moonsoon season like this since about 2012. We have been under flash flood watches and advisories for about a week. This July beginning of August has been full of cloudy skies and high humidity as we are used to dry 105-120 degree weather. We are still looking at rain at least for another week here and we are loving it. Our storms pretty much happen at night and makes for great viewing especially if your in a strip hotel the views are amazing with all the lightning strikes.

My sister is in Encampment WY. Under flash flood watch there today. Excellent video!

Great video!! Thanks, Reed!

Cheers from another Reed here in Carson City, Nevada!!

That flex tape hat though 😆. That's alotta damage!!

Great!

Awesome capture!! Thank you.

Awesome, thx Reed

Wow love this video fantastic job Reed 👊🏾

Awesome! Cheers Reed!

With third sunglasses you need a pit viper sponsor

Nice work! I love the desert and I too love flash flood weather. Not as educated as you as I prefer much higher ground. Thank you for all the time you put I. To making this video

The east side of the valley has gotten hammered the last couple of days. The west side where I'm at didn't get any.

That was awesome to see and learn from. Rachel in Kingman AZ.

WOWSERS 💦

awesome video as always Reed

Thank you Reed for all that you do to show us what's going on all around us these floods and all the rain has been bad be safe Reed and God bless you for your videos

Cool and beautiful video. I love the west.

Most of this rain reaches the rivers and streams in the Southwest...Lake Mead I'm sure is getting lots of rain as well....

Cool.I lived in AZ and NV for many years and have experienced many of these.

A blessing for Lake Meade

Miss AZ.. I was raised there.. taught as a young child about flashfloods, and snakes 🐍,,, it's beautiful country for sure...

First of all, just have to say...I LOVE your content! I often wonder though, when you fly somewhere to do weather coverage and rent a car, and they see your name on the list, what do they charge you for coverage?!?! 🤣🤣🤣

Nothing like a rainbow sunset with The Rim shining so beautifully....

Loved the rainbow😍

Very impressive, Reed!

You should have been here in Golden Valley, Az a couple of weeks ago. We had serious flash flooding.

Is there a way to divert water, or contain the water?

We had a flashflood. A 250 gallon propane tank is now washed up against a tree in all the debris. That thing could start another wildfire.

You could build check dams along these washes to store more of the water, and let it infiltrate the ground to replenish ground water.

Beautiful rainbow 🌈 full of orange & yellow

Flash floods are scary for sure sometimes!

Family + I got caught in a flash flood in Canyonlands NP, 1970s. We were amazed that 1' of water could carry 2' boulders ,iles down the paved road. We outran the flood, raced our car across a connecting hiway, jammed it up a hill where we pitched our tent and spent the night, water roaring below. Next morn had to clear the road of logs + boulders as we descended several miles to the main hiway. A lesson in erosion + the power of water!

Oh yes, Arizona's chocolate waterfalls🤎😃

Enjoy your videos, Reed.

story from professor, around 2010 el paso and las cruces had a 500 year event, we were literally doing projects and homework on rain totals and 100 to 500 year flood estimates for damage control actually going to predicted wash area looking at high water marks to get flow rates. he said in el paso i think or close his friend had a garbage can out, 17 inches in it

Beautiful!

Awesome job Reed 👏

Wow

Awesome footage 😆👍🏾 stay safe

I never do America had a monsoon season

Amazing!!!

We're catching all we can in cisterns and dug holes near gardens. Built swales as catchments too. All well here at high mountain desert plateau hideout NM.

Well darn it, was hoping you'd find the big one.

Love the Glasses! 👓 💚❤️💖💜💖❤️💚

1:45 this is the wall of death, it could be reduced in certain areas if people were allowed to collect and burn firewood

Hi Reed! Prescott, Arizona here🤙 🌟New Subscriber🌟 I just started watching your videos and they are amazing and packed with great advice and info💯👍 The Southwest ROCKS 🤘

haha loving the send-o-vision goggles

That would have been fun and educational to do

bro reed you always coming in hot with them beats bro hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Pray it helps the reservoirs!

Do you have to wear a disguise when you go in to rent cars? LOL

My wife and I and four of our friends got stranded in a flash flood near Moab UT we were four wheeling .we were able to get to high ground .Six hours we sat .

Nice beverage of Pacifico you got there

Best time to rock hound after the monsoon floods stirs it up

Such amazing, much-needed, content....THANK YOU. (One minor point: It's pronounced "PRESS-kit", not "PresCOTT")

Awesome!

This was the frist year i chased monsoon storms it was amazing

Man I know where a lot of these washes meet at in Nevada. There are Some real good ones

You'd think areas with water problems would find a way to capture this.

Amazing

Waiting for the next great California megaflood.

Love the footage! What weather app do you suggest?

Good to hear an honest reporter talking about the weather doing it natural thing and not BSing people dropping the climate change crap.

' very beautifully weather natural cloud pour heavy haily / rainy / snowy in the all citys / towns plus help hoover dam refill full water and floody... keep continue rainy until december 2023

My best bud and I took shelter in some old Native American cave dwellings on the north side of Horse Mesa in Los Alamos, NM back in the late 1960s during a terrific summer thunderstorm. Minutes later across the canyon we saw a massive waterfall materialize to the east of the airport. On the canyon floor it became a torrent that rivaled the flow of the Rio Grande on its way to same said river.
