MUD & THUNDER - Amazing n Weird Flash Flood Videos from Arizona 

I loved this video!! I am a Native Arizonan so flash floods are in my blood. I don't think the average person realizes how dangerous and sudden they are. But, thank God for the rain, we can maintain a very large population in a desert because of the tributaries and the runoff into larger waterways!! Thank you for sharing this footage, we'll done!

This is an amazing format that is really growing on me. Like a slideshow of information mixed with multiple views and in depth explanation with high detail and notations. Great job Reed.

I saw a video of a family driving through a canyon to park up and take a hike, but it started to rain and flash flood. The family quickly got back into their vehicle, and started to drive back out, but the waters were getting deeper and deeper, so the father decided to drive onto a small elevated island and wait it out. As they sat in the vehicle waiting, they saw another family in a compact car floating backwards in the flood waters, they slammed into an overhang of rocks, but they were actually saved from getting stuck because of the force of the waters pushing them. Rescue had gotten to the family stuck on an elevated island, the mom and kids were flown out by helicopter, while the dad waited for an all terrain vehicle to pull his truck back onto the road. It was an AMAZING story, just look on RU-vid for the family stuck in Utah's national canyon.

Witnessing any flash flood is always a cool thing to see even on a mini scale!

I’ve been watching you chase tornados for years. I love seeing you here in my AZ backyard showing us the monsoons!

Any weather phenomenon whether it be a flash flood or snow lightning it’s truly remarkable when you get to experience weather firsthand it’s a whole different feeling!!!

Lived in AZ my whole life. We learned to fear the flash flood, but it's really interesting to see them in action.

"Enjoy the ooze" has got to be the best way to describe beautiful debris flow videos 👍

Suddenly I'm in the mood for a Nutella chocolate shake.

All these active, overhead shots are a great way to see these floods from another perspective.

It’s awesome to see you out here covering the floods. It’s a great info for people to have. It still blow my mind how many people don’t get it. You are doing a good service. Keep it up. Been a fan since the old days!

when i was young, we’d have tremendous rainstorms that sometimes would produce actual waterfalls on Mummy Mountain! Absolutely thrilling!! I SO MISS my free range, no other homes then, mountain …. it was my constant companion of intrigue and exploration..

I’ve been in Az 29 yrs, this last 2+ weeks has been most rain I’ve seen in 7 yrs….

Reed, I love how you have diversified your incredible knowledge of "intense weather" to include Monsoons in addition to your infamous Tornado coverage. It was a Brilliant decision. But that's not all ...The free videos you are providing to the public via RU-vid, I know are making a Huge impact on students of all ages. In addition, children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to understand and learn how intense weather impacts their lives and future, are able learn from your new EXCITING videos ! WOW! How cool is that?! I encourage everyone to like and share your videos to generate donations for you to keep up the great content! ps. love the haircut, your looking great! "keep dominating" 🌪😮

I've seen lots of these. I grew up on a hillside that had a wash running through the valley. Whenever it would rain a lot, we'd all ride our bikes down to see how much the wash had come up once it wasn't raining too hard. I've seen the water eroding at the banks of the wash several times and even lapping at the bottom of the bridge.

This monsoon season is one of the most intense I have ever seen. Las Vegas got absolutely flooded just a few weeks ago. And Lake Mead actually rose several feet because of all the rain. And now The region is getting more rain because of Kay’s moisture and remnants.

Fun fact, almost every major rapid in the Grand Canyon is formed by debris fields coming out of the side creeks.

I've seen Arizonan rains, and it was pretty intense. Nothing compared to a couple of years ago in southern Utah, that was apocalyptic. Blinding rains, ice, high wind gusts. I was reduced to driving 20 mph on the 15, and the only reason I stayed on the road was because of the trucker right in front of me. I think some hikers bought the farm in the canyons nearby. Thank goodness for Beaver, UT.

absolutely gorgeous lands and epic raging rain water captures!!!!!

Definitely, today's weather patterns are showing us how the rock formations have formed over millions of years. Interesting, everything has its story. All we can do is learn once again from all the experiences given us by nature.

Well done Reed. I have been watching your videos for many years. This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. It is beautiful, unique and informative. The music was perfect. Just as I was starting to wish I could hear the wash as it went by, the music faded and we could hear the flood. I hope to see many more videos of natural events like this in the future. Truly amazing.

I miss the monsoon season there, wish I was home to witness the beauty of it.

I'm also in Northern Arizona and the thunder is intense and rain keeps coming down. What a great monsoon this year. Everything greened up for a little while. Then we go back to the desert we are. Can't wait for the little snow we get up here.

Best viewed with sound off.

Those glasses are absolutely RIDICULOUS

Great educational video Reed . I love these new videos from you and Brian touches make them very professional.

Those straight-line ways are amazing! It's like a flash flood on top of a flash flood.

Gotta say these flash floods are enough for me to take a step back and watch in awe!!!

Reed, great video. I just love your work. If your by your self, please be careful.

This is fascinating! It would be so cool to live in a place that has these regular flash floods in the washes. I'd be out there watching the surge of the water every day!

excellent drone footage. So well put together and your narration is up beat, informative, and interesting. thank you

Fabulous footage and information. Thank you. Makes me want to take a drive over to Arizona.

A fascinating subject and your drone work is superb! What a terrific example of technology giving us a new glimpse into the amazing things found in the world.

Those tidbits are interesting but they disappear too fast. It would be good if you could leave them up for 3-4 more seconds.

Just caught mud and thunder Very nice👍🏽

I was stationed with a Capt Timmer in the 70's at the USAF Academy. he was our Radiologist. A great guy. We didn't learn Officer's first names usually. I haven't heard the name Timmer in years.

Educating, interesting and entertaining all at the same time. Thank you. You have earned a 'sub'.🙂

Watching as a geologist. Thank you for sharing, Reed.

There is something about nature that keeps me in a state of awe. I'm used to tornadoes in Oklahoma, but Arizona has it's own magnificent weather phenomena. Awesome video footage, thank you.

Love love love your videos. I could lose an entire day watching... thanks.

Very interesting, especially the speed at which a flood can build

Prayers for water needed.

Excellent and fascinating video, especially the drone footage which allows getting so close to the action!

Wow, the effort you put into production and editing of your videos is 2nd to none, well done sir 👏 👏 👏

A força da natureza é. fantástica!

Thanks 4 sharing the beauty of nature!

Striking nature!.I never thought this kind of flash flood existed. TYVM for sharing your (dangerous) experience

AMAZING JOB *****

Excellent footage. Great drone views.

Informative vid with some amazing drone footage!

Great video!

I always loved watching the arroyos in my part of the southwest. It amazing how much earth the water will move. I live in a river canyon at the base of a mesa with many channels coming down. Keeping our dirt roads to our homes cleared during monsoon season is fun.

Farout !! What an interesting way to spend time stepping out of the tornado box ! Just amazing how fast and powerful these can be

Now I have Mastodon stuck in my head and it as amazing. Thank you. :)

Bro! Excellent video! Love the production…the mapping, the drone footage, the music and most of all the explanations. Great teaching aide!

Killer video man!

Ciao Reed: I lived outside Tuscon at Marana for several years in the 60's...had to commute every day into town for my bank job...summers I never knew if I'd make it back home either late, or not at all...could be sunny and hot in Tuscon, but storming in the hills...usually there was a police officer stopping traffic when the washes were active...saw a yellow Volks with a lady inside get swept away right in front of me...they found the car a few miles downstream...her body much farther down...the power of the water was amazing...loved watching your work on these events...very well done...but please be careful!

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. I lived in Arizona for 11 years. I'm glad it's done.

I live in Las Vegas now. Miracle Mile flash flood was so bad. It eroded the walls of the wash. A trailer park. Miracle Mile. Some fell into the wash. I always worry when I see rain clouds like this and being out in the desert. I always watch. Thank you for this!

Mesmerising

Mother Nature is the best artist

Whoever edited this did a great job. A lot different from Reeds normal uploads. Love it

Amazing video and commentary. This is my first time watching one of these flash flood videos. This is real reporting.. and worlds better than weather news you get on the MSM. Drone footage is amazing. Thanx and Good job 👍

Reed has better videos than weather channel hands down! Keep up the videos Best of luck!

These videos are incredible! 😳

Nice drone work.

I love the beats of the music that you put in the video

I have seen these up close and personal out in the desert. The rain brings life, so it's always welcome. But you had better be out of the way when these come down the wash, and this is a small one. I have seen them with full size cottonwoods that were washed out by the roots. Amazing things to see.

Wow that got big and fast quick

Awesome video.

Those are sooo awesome. I lived in Scottsdale and when the washes flooded, they were raging rivers. Powerful.

Great channel Reed - Happy to subscribe

8:33 The undulation is beautiful. Like a living thing.

My girlfriend and I got caught out and had to cross a flash flood in Fish and Owl Creek in Utah early spring. Water was ankle deep when we crossed initially, up to about 4’-5’ when we had to cross. In the flow for a minute or two maybe, hypothermia set in quick… Crazy stuff, great footage you got there, thanks for sharing!!!

I'm RVing in kingman AZ. These storms are crazy. Great video content!

Spectacular photography.

Amazing footage, Thank you for sharing!

My boys are home schooled and I use alot of your videos for teaching moments!!!

Your very very knowledgeable..Enjoy your videos..

Great shots of the actual different water flows on the sediment, never seen that before.

8:17 Is a good example how topography can give the illusion of water running upstream.

Looks like a horror movie that blob of stuff at the beginning. Great video.

Thank you 🙏 great 👍🎥with great 👍 explanation 👏👏👏👋☮️

If only Kevin Neelan was still alive to play Reed in SNL!

Very cool catch! Love the drone footage!

i love natural "disasters/catastrophes" this things put a smile on my face best part when you watch them live just keep your distance and respect nature, but that stil isnt 100% safe yet damn this is a real beauty

Reed Timmer PHD ....

Thank you for this, it’s great!

Hell yeah baby! LET'S GOOOO!!! I love this! Nice job man.

' wow beautifully heavy rainy to floody muddy on the river

💗 it! I like the incorporation of music!

Great reporting

Flash floods are normal in New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and southern California. This is some beautiful photography of flash floods. Flash floods have not been filmed in this way in the past.

Wow that flood looks so angry. Much love Reed Never Stop Covering Floods

I watch your storm videos daily and I like them so keep up the good work

I love the fact that a well controlled drone can go to places that no human would dare. (I’m interested to see a volcano erupting from directly above it’s core) …..

🎶oooooooh im drivin’ my life away…..not lookin’ for a sunny day…nooooo. Eddie Rabbit

Fascinating! I can't get enough of your videos on these flash floods. I was just in all those areas earlier this winter/spring (I live on the road) and am trying to learn how to avoid these phenomenon.

Nature can be wonderful if we treated fair. That is some good drone flying thank you.

My first couple of times through Arizona I got a big kick out of the fact that they actually give names to their dry mud-puddles. I guess when you have no rivers to name you have make do.
