Flash Flood in Moab, Utah on 10/2/2022 

1:20 That's what narcissism looks like.

Great to see the initially stuck Jeep complete the crossing after being pulled out. Hear that flash flood ran through the town too.

Great video, you showed a lot that others might have glossed over. You could see that by the end the water level had dropped a good bit. Flash flooding aint no joke!

OMG...yoga people are so strange. That was hilarious to watch. Loved the sandwich throwing :)

I was just in moab 2 weeks ago at Ken's lake, then went back behind fauxfalls and hiked to some caves back there after we drove 4x4 to the back canyon . It started to sprinkle and we got a flash flood warning so we romped "A" outa there, lol. Beautiful place, I was on my way to flaming gorge and to visit a sister in Vernal. I am planning a trip back to Moab in late spring. May it stay as majestic as it was when I was there with my family. If only someone would make a Truck/SUV float on water for a time would be awesome like our military has the land water vehicles

I was so shocked when this video came up on my feed today. We were there that morning - and the guy at 5:08 throwing the sammies across to his friends gave us some excellent advice. We were so bummed when we rolled up and could not cross to get out to Chicken Corners. He was trying to get across to meet his friends for breakfast - funny to see him on this video bring them lunch in this video! That's a cool dude taking care of his buddies.

Was just at yellow cat road that loops back to Danish flats today with my old man. The yellow cat road that loops back around to Danish flats is completely washed out about 2/3 of the way back to Danish flats. Just a heads up for anyone taking that route!

Yep years ago my wife and I and four of our friends were four wheeling in Moab we sat for six hours on high ground till water went down so we could get out

At least the trakter driver had a show from the yoga scank

lmao,,,"Matt's Off Road Recovery" to the Rescue👍🏼

Wow! I'm pretty sure I crossed that creek crossing two days before the flash flood when we rented a UTV from Ultimate UTV Adventures in Moab and followed a young guide.

Flooding sucks but thanks for sharing this video. I live in the mountains of upstate NY where we got hit hard by hurricane Irene back jn 2011(20” of rain in two days). But going to Moab is on my bucket list. It’s about a 35 hour drive from my house.

The exact same thing happened this time last year when I was there. Our camping spot almost flooded in the middle of the night. I'll be there next week. Hopefully, the road won't get washed out again.

That looks like so much fun sitting here in my nice, dry, warm house eating a hot breakfast.

Awesome job by the front end loader operator

Everyone telling the one guy that knows how to cross a water crossing "hit it" "you better go faster than that"... this is why you never listen to spectators or trust their advice. Always get out, inspect what your going to drive through personally and don't listen to douches on the bank who want damage to spectate and film

that girl really thinks shes somethin huh? lmfao im dead

Thumbs up. I got a kick out of you catching the morning yoga

Better call in Matt's Offroad Recovery, or maybe Rory

thanks for video

That's pretty sad. All these Jeeps sitting around and it's pulled out with a two wheel drive tow truck?? Nobody had a shovel? A couple of tow straps? Were all these Jeeps rental Jeeps? Stuck for 24 hours? One other Jeep and a shovel and a strap. Yes,😊 you are going to have to get dirty........

Can someone please send this video to Joey B Toonz, that girl is exactly what he keeps highlighting.

Not used to seeing the Jeeps without Snorkels. In Australia we mostly have snorkels when going off RD as we have deep creeks and areas like this. Our Jeep people aka clubs have to have mandatory winches, towing stuff etc, and when we go out we also hang around to help get cars and people to safety. Seems like you guys do it differently but each to their own. Have fun out there.

Super super nice video 🇸🇪👍

Stayed in that campground just past this spot on Kane's Creek Rd, last April. Pulled a Ford Ranger out of this very spot with my Rav4. Man oh man if this isn't Moab for ya: Jeeps, machines doing work on roads... and people doing yoga and throwing food into the river!

We got hit here over on the Colorado side of the La sal Mountains too, Paradox Valley was hit hard.

Got lucky last year, they had already cleared away the mud before I got to Kane Creek to head up Hurrah Pass.

Why would anyone NOT call Rory Irish and Trail Mater, when they get stuck off-road around Moab? Rory could have rescue the loader if it got stuck, yet alone a few Jeepsa stranded by a bit of mud and water. 😉

That female needs to lay off the substances.

I know storms can pop up unexpectedly, but always check the weather before going on one of these excursions and not just local weather. It needs to be checked for a 30-40 mile radius.

My antisocial brain was kinda hoping yoga lady would fall in the water😊

All those people and no winch? Under those conditions I estimate it would take 7300 pounds of winch pull to loosen him up. Estimating the weight of the jeep at 5000 lbs - a gross estimation. Also, driving faster through deep water is not a good idea. Fun watching though.

Loader dude is out there living my ultimate dream lmao. Diesel, hydraulic fluid, mud and dirt that need moving 🤤

This looks like the same spot my husband and I were stuck at for 3 hrs in August of 21

When you have a good operator, you would be surprised how fast the person can work the front end loader with the bucket. Another good public service to free stranded motorists.

The first thing is to give the water a place to go.

How come the vehicles on the other side didn’t pull that jeep out?

Give that tow truck operator's name to Rory/TrailMater, and get him an invite to the Off-Road Wrecker Olympics

We’re is Rory with TrailMater you need him? 💪🏼

looks like a job for Matt's Off-road Recovery

Where is trail Mater to pull out that Jeep

Going fast is the surest way to destroy the motor. Walking speed is best to avoid sucking in water and mud.

Probably liability concerns on the jeep. One dent and he could get sued

Was it hot? Is she on that stuff?

Kanes creek not keens creek?

That dude in the Jeep had better check his diffs soon.

Camera guy, was it a one way in and one way out road? why couldn’t they drive around?

Camera guy, where is the live footage of the flood?

Monsoon season, job security for that front loader..

always wonder how much they charge to come out, been there a few times, need to be prepared for a tow

That guy better keep that tire loader moving, otherwise he's gonna be in the same situation as that jeep he's trying get out, the whole point is, keep your machine moving don't stop.

The jeeps like uhhhh can we get it a little deeper lol

When in Moab...Always Call Rory at Moab Motorsports. Period...

Is she on something

What was that lady doing?

Payote going on there?

That looks like a lot of fun you're gonna need that off road recovery person to come and yank that Jeep out

The Jeep in the mud was no need for crane, another all-terrain of those who had there could be taken.

Subway man, got a subway arm

We rode there the day before on side by sides.

Reminds me of a song- Blue Oyster Cult “Godzilla” History shows again and again How nature points out the folly of man Godzilla!

Should have left the food in the bag and swung it to create the momentum needed to get it over the river.

Is this Kane Creek or Keene Creek?

you think the guy in front loader would help

Dude tossing subs will never be picked up by a baseball team!!

Kane Creek, not Keens Creek.

why didnt the loader pull the Jeep out?

Nice moves by the Dirt Ballerina

Call Matt's Off road recovery get that jeep right out.

If the happened on the 10th February 2022 (10/02/22) why has it only just been uploaded?

whos the nut job having a workout on the mud 😜😜🤪

Why is that guy digging a hole and not feeling it in that makes absolutely no sense at all

Worst sub toss Ive ever seen

every summer at my house, lol

Tf is that girl doing out there? Just gotta be center of attention.

Some sand ladders, a pulley and a winch on another truck would pull that jeep right out Look at what people who crossed the Darien did in 1978 or what Indonesian off-roaders do today. You don't need a 12,000 lbs excavator to get that jeep out.

WTH was that chick trying to do????

Confused why the loader didn't just hook to the jeep an easily pull it

Wow how incredibly stupid ! He couldn't leave the sandwichs in the plastic bag before throwing them across the water!

you would think those hippies would have a rope and an ice chest -- get the sandwiches across safe and dry

Probably from California. The land of fruit and nuts! Thanks from St. Paul Minnesota.

Just call Matt off Road Recovery and Banana Team...

Pretty sure its required by law for all residents to own some form of construction equipment in Utah. But also fail all OSHA safety checks.

I ask, the machine could have helped him, I also did not see that the rule is fulfilled that among us who like off road we should help each other. I didn't see any of the onlookers help him.

bad time for yoga

Thats not yoga thats meth

Dudes got a weak arm

I'm astonished you yanks don't assist each other! In South Africa we all have tow ropes!

It is monsoon season nothing new at all

He should have left them in the bag, then chuck them.

All those Jeep and no one pulled him out? Y’all better quit wheelin

going off toad. these fools need to stay home. you go out into the booneys you must be ready to spend three-four extra days out there. and why was that guy stuck in the mud? was nobody off road ready? jerk strap. tow rope, A winch?

The fact that people drove past the stuck jeep.without even trying to help recover it is unbelievable. There is a whole different kind of people in the back country these days . not good people:( it's unfortunate..

What a buffoon he should have tied the knot in the bag and threw them all together

This is stupid try wheel rolling AC into that mud the water will roll over top the zone preventing it from becoming saturated,the idea of yours only makes it deeper and collects more mud, you're only stirring it up makes it worse.Glad you saved the 4×4 stuck there now prevent this from occurring next time.

Yoga lady is wacko!! But at lease he enjoyed watching her while he working..

MTB guy did a better job at crossing.

That's what kids do. Get stuck!

The dance routine was awful.

Loader driver could've at least pulled the jeep out .
