Time-Lapse: Nancy Creek Flood in 5 Minutes - Huntley Hills - July '22 

We have in our state a "Stupid Motorist Law". You pay for the first responders who have to rescue and recover you if you intentionally drive into a flooded area or other hazardeous environment.

There is always someone who decides to drive through a flooded road.

All my life I have heard about Nancy Creek flooding. But I have never been able to witness it like this. Thank you for showing this video.

You should send the house builder a thank you note for grading your property right.

Years ago working for Burbank, prior to the pump upgrades, Hollywood Way would frequently flood out under Vanowen/Empire. I was part of the emergency crew barricading the street while watching the cops arguing with idiots that insisted they could drive thru. Despite the dude wading down the sidewalk in chest deep water. It's amazing how dense people can be.

Guys, isn't the motorist being taken away on the stretcher, it's one of the first responders... Odd.

I used to keep my horse at a barn that had Nancy Creek running through the property. Flooding was a regular occurrence. I can’t say I miss it at all!

If you look at the timestamp, it was literally about 30 minutes from the car driving into the flooded street to the time they got out and most water already gone.

So, that road is IN the creek. Nice plan.

Slowed down to 0.25 you can see that car had a serious bow wake. It was moving when it hit that water. I think that is what did it in. I don't think the water was deep enough to smother that car going slow.

These cars are driving way too fast for road conditions.

Wow. Really reminds me of the carpenteria California mud slides that dislodged thousands of tons of boulders and killed a bunch of people on the hillsides a few years back. All the rain during that storm also happened in about ten minutes as well. Difference was that b/c of previous fires burning the vegetation on the hillside, there was nothing left to hold the boulders to the mountain. So in that few minutes everything came flooding down.

After about the 1:20 mark in the video I'd have gone into "turn around, don't drown" mode, like (supposedly) a normal person would do.

This is a very good video / it reminds me of the heavy rain and flash floods we get in Oklahoma, quite often

Somebody call Post10 💦

The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli. 😮😂

So the place flooded with latte?

What happened off scene? The stretcher wasn’t needed for the stuck driver I presume.

In Australia we have the saying 'If its flooded forget about it' they use it to warn motorists not to drive through flood waters even if it looks safe.

In Austin we have multiple low water crossings and warnings not to drive into those crossings during heavy storms but motorists do it all the time, drive around the barricades and get washed downstream. It puts the first responders lives in danger just saving those idiots who don't listen.

There's always some idiot who doesn't follow the warning "Turn around, don't drown".

This video appears to show just a street flood! You can still see a lot of grass behind the street (between the street and the creek) This video shows more about horrible street / sewer maintenance than anything else. In the beginning of this video you can see a drain just to the left of the mailbox - this drain hardly does a thing with the water. The city / county needs to go in and check / clear all these streets / sewer drains.

Well that street flooded crazy! A few years ago we too had a huge flood that even flooded the basement. I had to install a sump pump with the new renovation, including a check valve on the main sewer line. I hope I never have water in the basement again. 73

When Nancy Creek floods, it doesn't mess around. Been that way as long as I can remember it, and I'm one of those very rare people who's an Atlanta native.

It's crazy how fast it flooded

There’s a storm drain opposite the camera’s property at the left of this picture that appears to be about 1’x3’, probably large enough for average rainfall but this rain was intense! Either enlarge the drain or install more drainage in that particular area.

Who was taken out in the stretcher?

Why did the white car stop. Did it stall out?

At 1:53 que stupid driver.

Must be newbies to the area. Nancy Creek has been flooding like that since I was a young girl over 50 yrs ago. My cousins lived near it.

I’m just wondering what medical emergency occurred to warrant having to get on a gurney and take a trip in an ambulance. That’s a lot of first responders helping when all the person could have done was to wade a few feet out of the slow moving water and been on the grass.

Wow that's awesome thanks for sharing

What power the water has. I was getting nervous just watching

I'm from charleston sc and when I seen the flood title I was expecting more. This was cute. In charleston it's so bad that if you piss outside it'll flood

Wow! I'd be interested to know how many inches fell in that 30 minute timeframe.

I remember mom and dad talking about Nancy Creek from when I was younger....they lived near it in the early 60's... It was flooding back then.. they moved to Jonesboro, Ga to get away from the flooding

i feel like the storm drain across the street is lacking and there needs to be one right in front of this house!

We, as in the “human race” need to always be on the look out, because Mother Nature is not an obstacle to be conquered but instead admired. Just my random thoughts after midnight.

Neat. Why did your neighbor need an ambulance?

"That escalated quickly" Ron Burgundy

I could just hear the engine block crack on that white car that drove into the high water.

Who was being taken in an ambulance? Nobody got hurt in the view of the camera.

Where is the creek. I see a road not a creek.

you call that a flood?!

Damn, the person driving into that must have been so scared. What a harrowing experience, that was so insane. People are awesome

what part of simply stalling your car in high water would necessitate a ride in an ambulance ??

If you can't see the road, why drive into the flooded street???

Those cars drive really fast through that flood water.

So.. why did she need rescue? She drove into 18 inches of water and the car engine died. I don't get it.

Las Vegas has a flash flood season. People get stuck in the same spots year after year, it's tradition.

The name of the driver of the white car was Ima Dumas.

My family been in Atlanta area since 1700's. I'm 75 & Nancy Creek has been flooding as long as I can remember. Drainage system fills with debris!

I used to live in this neighborhood on Ensign Dr. many, many years ago!

Good day ,is this road build on a flood plane !? My own thought 🤔 is yes , next time build in a river/ canal !?

There was like 10 inches of water, and it was an eddy. GMAFB

where did that big whirlpool thing come from in middle of the road?

That car must have a really low air intake scoop or something. It didn't seem near deep enough to have stalled out.

HELLO EVERYONE! REALLY ENJOYABLE VIDEO! THANK YOU GUYS!

All of those emergency responders who, during a widespread crisis are tied up rescuing someone stupid enough to drive into water with a car that rides low. What a shame.

Not such a big deal if it came & went within five minutes. Am I missing something?

Is this in Atlanta? Happens every significant rain.

looks like about 3'" of rain on a road. Not a big deal

How does anyone have a coversation?? And if its made public, its fair game.

I think your creek has a flooding problem. And, did anybody tell that driver they can't park there?

I live in the desert & we're not built for rain. Every few years we flood pretty bad in the lower sections of town. It's not unusual to see a section of road with a dozen vehicles, cars trucks & motorcycles. We don't bother with the vehicles, just pull the people out & let 'em walk home

My street in Houston used to do that every time it rained.

Why didnt they just open the doors and walk away?

I only getscam ads that crSh my phone.there is no way to view this

what camera do you use?

That was quick. Ky has roadsigns that say "if flooded turn around, you don't want to drown"

The way the road flooded so fast with a simply rain storm appears to indicate another Darwin Award of poor design and run off. Both sides are hills forcing water down to the road and likely the drains underneath were never sufficiently wide enough to cope with the run off for the terrain.

That was cool. Thanks❤

Oh no, not AMR ambulance aka American Medical Response. If they take her to the hospital 3 miles down the road she'll get a transportation bill of like $1,800. My mother got one for 7-8 miles. One of the biggest ripoff health companies in America.

Am I the only one wondering why the ambulance arrived?

There was some rain. The road flooded. Then it drained. This is about as eventful as watching someone brush their teeth.

Where’s the storm sewer drain

No entendí… ¿la ambulancia es para qué?

In my town (in Canada, mind you) neighbours or people watching a problem like this happening would just wade in and assist the person, wether it be as simple as pushing the car to lower water or getting them out entirely. It would have never gotten to the point of calling for aid. How many people watched or just walked by before emergency crews showed up?

Is is me or are there fish swimming? Sure looks like it. But might just be an illusion

I'd say you got a drainage problem. :)

Cool video, thanks!

Why is there always that one person that can’t figure it out?

Someone clear the street drain...😮😮😮

Emergency response for a car stuck in one foot of water?

yes flooded forget it. that said the wheels show the depth , what 40cm at max the speed may be the main cause of engine cut out. put in depth indicators!!! in driving rain I did not see a river washing over a road a 1000cm deep caused by a new school car park were idiots did the flood and hydraulics calculations. You get a lot of this in Australia it was deep enough to wash me away and strong enough. I was in a JZA80 supra in a suburb of Brisbane and it was 11:30 pm pitch black with head lights coming towards me so why think I'm driving into my death? The head lights were of a person who had just pulled off a U-turn and do you think they flashed or stuck around? A holes! I cam to a stop 50 m into a 100m flow, I lowered my drivers side window to be met by splashing water into my face, at the same time the water pressure was turning my car to face its flow. I had driven this road home a thousand time and never ever seen water even over the road but I knew this was as real as its ever going to get. Water was racing up and over my windscreen and roof at speeds that escape out the window was futile. Like in the movies I thought "Game over" But to this day I do not understand the 2 j engine was still running . I dropped the clutch and gave her every thing and she tried to go into the torrent and I felt her being pushed down from the flood water, then like the shark out of Jaws she launched up out of the waters into the air landing on the centre Island and I floored it to high ground. If I can tell you one thing its that I am alive because of Toyota . Thank you. if you see it dont go in it, if you don't stay calm, its your best hope panic kills...

Someone needed an ambulance right then??

The problem is all the construction of parking lots and buildings up stream… the water rushes into the creek now. Murphy candler lake use to be designed to prevent flash flooding… not anymore.

In this video they show how to hydro lock your motor. Lol once water makes it to the air intake the filter isn't stopping it the water goes thur the intake pipe past the filter right into the intake manifold to the top of the piston. Then the pistons that can't take the pressure from all the water being forced in break and get jammed in a way that the motor locks up. Which could have been avoided by not driving thur high water in a little car.

Is your neighbor ok?

Why did the driver need an ambulance... because he got wet???

Was that a fireman on the stretcher?

This is what happens when you pave roads, parking lot’s, buildings driveways, they all shed water! Every roof sheds water! Not only doesn’t the land underneath not absorb the water, but what’s left uncovered cannot handle that amount of water! I seen this day coming in the 70’s already!

Where's Yakity Sax?

< insert your favorite quote from Forrest Gump >

I wonder if the engine sucked in water and locked up.

That person who got stuck with their car... could've got out of their car and walked away...

"I was trapped for a whole 2 minutes in 9 inches of water..." ... ... ... that's a special kind of stupid.

Drives into flooded roadway like they are certain it is only 3” deep, hauls butt, soaks airfilter with wake and stalls car. Proceeds to sit in stalled car for long time as 3” of water only gets deeper. But i guess we had the luxury of knowing it wasnt very deep as we watched it flood.

Driving above the speed limit on a road submerged with opaque, muddy water? That was dumb.

You cannot save someone from their own stupidity, what a waste of time the water had receded already
