Wahweap Wash, UT Flash Flood Caught on Camera 7/15/2018

Flash flood and mini-debris caught on camera flow up close in Wahweap Wash just outside of Big Water, Utah on July 15, 2018! Notice the pine cones and other debris from the higher elevation terrain, 25 miles north from where this flood originated.
The Wahweap Hoodoos is a popular hiking destination and the name of a beautiful rock formation in Big Water, Utah, that’s anywhere from 100-160 million years old. The white hoodoos are created from the erosion of Dakota sandstone, as well as Entrada Sandstone. The trail, however, is known to be remote and is prone to occasionally flash flooding. While there is usually higher ground that can be accessed, it’s best to be safe and watch the weather report, as flash floods can be dangerous as they move quickly!

That’s because water and lava are the same substance (a liquid) + it is making even more like lava because the wood is making it look like the molten lava travelling.

@KayentaRojo 2 жыл бұрын

I live in Utah, and it is definitely because we receive a very severe monsoon season annually. We also have many slot canyons and slick rock desert that water can easily just run over and not soak into the ground. The terrain is so dry here, and vegetation is pretty sparse besides cactus and yucca so there is nothing to hold the water back as it goes to the lowest point.
