MONSTER FLASH FLOOD intercepted north of Phoenix, Arizona 

Agreed brother.

It's actually the creosote plants that you are smelling and it's amazing for sure!

Creosote and sage. Growing up in Yuma, you could always tell where the storms were coming from. If it smelled like seawater or salt, the storm was coming up from El Gulfo de Santa Clara. If it smelled of creosote or sage then it was coming from across the desert either from El Centro or from Phoenix. If it smelled like dust, you closed up everything and made sure nothing could fly cuz a good haboob was coming.

I learned 20 years ago that the proper response is, "YEAH it is."

Why live in s desert?

Why you really should not camp during summer here in AZ. Just because it is not raining where you are at doesn't mean it is not pouring somewhere up North and all the water runs down hill. Too many slot canyons and box canyons that can become death traps during monsoon season. I love the Sonoran Desert. It is where I was born and raised but I also know from years of roaming, hunting and camping, the desert, regardless of time of year, will kill you if you are not careful. Camping on what appears to be high ground may not be that in the event of a sudden squall. AZ really is a truly beautiful and savage garden and as long as you educate yourself and take necessary precautions, the amount of fun and natural beauty you can have here is limitless. I have lived in numerous places courtesy of Uncle Sam(Air Force Brat and Marine Wife) but AZ has been and will always be home for me. There is nothing like it anywhere!!!

@@corkycobon1481 yep...that is what i said... don't take chances..... just because you can't see the danger, doesn't mean it is not there.

And if you do, don't let your cooler float away!!!🤦‍♂️

No, it is why Igloo is the leading cooler seller

Sorry man, losing a cooler can be... Rough 😔✊ (joke)

😂

Sorry for the loss

😂😂😂funny

So the beer is being delivered down stream.

Not so satisfying for the people here right now(me)🙃

At the same time SO SAD how the rain forest in the Pacific northwest is dying because of the mega drought

@Jay Snake historically human civilization has been based around rivers so kinda makes sense but it’s sad. We need to build smarter so these people don’t have to rebuild their home every wet year that comes.

@@edsamjr You have been watching to much MSM, Main stream media. Our forests are not dying. The snow just melted a few weeks ago after the "historic" heat wave. This was at the 5500 foot level, where the Mt Rainier Lodge is located at. NO MEGA drought here. Snow pack was over 100% this last season.

@@edsamjr Earth is a living thing. It has it's ecosystems. River dry up, tides change, creatures die out, new ones are born, etc. That is natural. Humans are just another animals to nature and Earth.

They have been flowing pretty good this last week and of course the last few days.

floods rise so fast!! only takes seconds. listening might save your lives..

I've heard that term, as well as "gully washer".

Short for a river bed Davenport. /Sofa /couch Soda/pop

..and right now the entire world gets washed... China, Mexico, London, Germany, India...

Because it gets washed every now and then. 😎😁😆

Huh. I never thought why do we call them washes

@@glittertoons63 what happened?

This is pretty usual for monsoon weather in Phoenix. Flooding, people get stuck trying to cross places they shouldn't, it's messy for a bit.

There was virtually no monsoon last year. Been here 40 years and never have seen this! I watched this storm come from the north which is not the pattern of monsoon weather. Without a doubt this was engineered. It was a blessing for the fruit trees and the Trump rally!

Problem is you don’t want all that rain all at once as is happening in numerous places globally this year.

It floods a lot in New River.

It started with skunk creek

New River is a bastion of Liberty in the desert. Try it, you’ll like it.

Wtf happened to old river

Old river is there most of the year, replaced by a new river each time it rains.🤣🤣🤣

Some of the best playgrounds around.

What toys? Your rubber ducky?

@@whenlambo9759 🦆🦆🦆🦆

Don't you go crazy from the heat? I guess you're used to it

90+ degrees at night is not for me, nor 100+ during the day for days and days.

More like stupid

Yeah stupid

Darwin worthy.

This is just a wash filling up, good example of how flash floods happen though

@@chadingram6390 Good epitaph.

Agreed! What an incredible smell. Craving it now

Is that creosote the same stuff they dip fence posts in to keep them from rotting?

It is part of a sand and gravel operation and will do just fine.

Great observation! You’re right.

It’s a desert

There is a huge lake that fills up every 20 years and they stock it with bass. It usually last at least 5 years.

Many are dry year around except for monsoon rains; others, like the San Pedro, usually retains at least some water all year. Not this year.

Its yucky in Arizona, dont come.

@@jimanders9971 I lived there for u years and I thought it was pretty there in some places. I liked the desert. The problem is the heat. The whole time I was there it hit 120 1 time… now you guys have that for a week or more. I came back to Washington state and never thought I’d look forward to rain when I moved from where to Az lol.. I left my X there though…he hates it there hahaha.

or no brain

I think he's swinging on the metal frame off-camera.

He’s really chasing the beer from the cooler.

🏃🏼‍♀️

look at the Big Brain on Brad...

what about the Arizona GOPigs ? Arizonian Swine ?

Hahaha exactly!

I live in Phoenix. What you have written is incorrect. Try again.

Roadrunner 17 lee- the aqua Fria ran hard during the 1970’s I remember when it wiped out the 35 th ave bridge going to Broadway. Not once but twice.

"The times, they are a changin'". 🎶

Never hurts. We have 10 years plus stored. It's not California type culture

@@kriskoenig4606 - How do you store 10 yrs worth of water? In a long term drought you can’t replenish usage and evaporation.

@@Chainyanker007 underground

Im in az

crv or forester?

@@azdbuk not sure what you mean? Reed drives a forester but oddly I own a crv lol

@@HONDACARGUY just was wondering your opinion hnda vs suby

@@azdbuk oh gotcha haha depends on a lot of things both are good cars but me personally as my RU-vid channels suggests I’m a Honda guy!

Bungee cords?

We have 10 years stored. They will catch most of it. They do know what their doing here

It must be that heavy rainfall, that’s why it’s a river flood

I use to deliver for UPS out there. It’s a mud pit when it rains there. The Desert Hills area is pretty bad with rain too. Lots of money there. They might have fixed there roads though by then. This was a while back

Gold don't move much.

@@philwhipple4557 Guess it all fell out of the sky? where it lands is where it stays? Missed that in my geology class.

Isn’t Arizona always a drought? lol

@@Amazingperson-ur8iz YEP!!!!! Hell, the entire western USA is a large drought..........

Nothing out of the cyclic norm. Pay no attention to the news, it's all lies.

@@southernoregonprospector9074 honestly, how would you know?, your profile name states that you're in Oregon. All of our bodies of water, were at half capacity, idk what it is now?, due to the rain.

@@hannahsenior5124 being a 25 year long former resident of Las Vegas, I'm well aware of the monsoon cycles of the southwest. The fact is that the rivers did not stop flowing, but the man made reservoirs and their levels ARE controlled, either by use, or simply opening or closing the gates to let the level go up or down. It's a great way to create fear, and since nobody can remember any amount of time these days, people buy into the fear hook line and sinker. I've seen Lake Mead at lower levels than now, and it wasn't that long ago...I've also seen it flowing over the spillways. The Earth's climate go's through cycles, plain and simple...but cycles are fact, not fear, and fear is needed for control.

Aww 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾4 relief to come ya'll way

Pray the monsoons cause WET T STORMS THIS YEAR ...NO DRY STORMS!

Have yet to see the last one that rolled through northwestern communities. Canada de Oro looked semi-full yesterday.

@@SteveKasian happy to send photos

@@HONDACARGUY No need; Apparently Reed or his "editor" doesn't want anyone to know facts about the weather in the American Desert Southwest. Weird.

@@SteveKasian I understand how rare it is, I have lived here for many many years and wouldn’t post that if it didn’t happen. There are many great photos of it on the Internet for anyone to check out.

@@HONDACARGUY I believe you would. I believe that's pretty much your thing: Posting about things that never happened. I think you're a pathological fibber, and that your screen name isn't even HONDACARGUY. I believe you've commandeered the real HONDACARGUY's screen name and are falsely representing yourself to be him. I believe you've actually kidnapped the origianl HONDACARGUY and are attempting to collect a randsom on him via Grinder and Craigslist Personals. And I believe it's all been coordinated with the Deep State. I know. I know all about it.

This was just rain. Monsoons are bigger and accompanied by huge dust clouds lasting only an hour or two. This resulted from showers and sprinkles over the last two days.

The washes in New river drain into the Agua fria River which flows into lake pleasant. It's been below capacity for awhile so this will help a lot.

Good 1! Lol

He was twiddling his thumbs without a tornado to run into.

Petifile!!!

Scorpions freak me out big time!

@@randallsmerna384 I've been living in Phoenix for 3yrs now. I've seen maybe 3 lives one, with only one being an adult. The baby ones are the ones to worry about, I hear. The adults inject you, but the small ones inject you NONSTOP and can't control it. People find them in their beds, as I've seen on Facebook a few times. SCARY! They could kill you in your sleep!

@@user-hf2dr7sh4y Captin dementia doesn't even know what "infrastructure" is. He's how ever extremely committed to letting millions of unvaccinated illegals into our country.

Same thing I was thinking

So Cal gets plenty more rain.

Scientists say all kinds of crap that never happens

It actually used to happen more when I was a kid growing up in the 90s. This is pretty tame compared to what was normal then.

Absolutely! This was unreal! The storms came from the north and had a very odd journey! Fyi monsoons per say come from the south!

It’s True too

@Mimi Rachels Aquarius the Water Bearer, located between Pisces and Capricorn, is one of the oldest signs, in ancient times ruling the area of the zodiac that was associated with water or rain, called 'the Sea' by the Babylonians (Aquarius, Pisces, Capricorn, Cetus and Delphinus), The symbol for Aquarius is equal to the Egypt ...

Until it turns into judgement. Ask Germany, Indonesia, China, Switzerland, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, Africa, Netherlands, Belgium, Iraq, Iran. ALL having devastating floods. Historical.

@@jdaze1 - Climate Change/Global warming is upon us. Higher atmospheric temperatures mean higher moisture content, when it eventually condenses you have sudden excessive rainfall which causes flooding. Expect much more and worse in the years to come.

@@Chainyanker007 Yes. God controls the weather.

Sorry. What a tragedy for him you're family and you

My father in law lives in surprise a retired driver himself and I love going out there with my wife to visit and thankfully we've never gotten caught in any flash floods

Flash flooding is neither good nor bad, it's just natural.

Its normal here is Phoenix. It happens every summer during Monsoon Season.

Forests need the fire.

What an incredible post! Your property sounds like a beautiful place, full of nature

Reed!! Gizmo needs her Daddy and you’re giving us a heart attack!!

Nope on both counts the whole New River area is full of washes caused by flash floods over centuries of time naturally,.. and if there's gold you gotta dig deep do to the amount of sand and mud...better of going more northwest to the bumblebee area for gold, there you still can pan easier with better results lots of smallish rivers/streams with sandy beaches...then again its monsoon season so it could be just one big mudpit depending on how much water sticks around...either way its not a get rich quick (if at all) place for gold/silver. Its more a small nugget/flake.. pay the bills/hobby.. kind of thing...if there was any "real" big amounts of gold/silver the mines would have been all over it decades ago....sorry to bust that bubble but that's just how it is here in Az
