This is a very enlightening video. From my first arrival in the Land of Enchantment, I was told of flash floods. I was warned about them. I saw the warning signs on the highways. I even saw the results of them after they had just occurred, after they had passed, and the enchantment was getting ready to blow again. I even saw a couple; but, luckily, I was from a safe observation distance as I was on a bicycle at the time. This video is my first time to realize that a flash flood in the Land of Enchantment consisted about as much, or more, of solid enchantment than it did of liquid enchantment. This flood in the video almost looked like a messy ooze flowing rapidly down the mountain side. I never thought of a flash flood in that way. I always thought of them as a wall of water, somewhat like an avalance of snow, but in the form of relatively clean, pure water. I never thought of them as a wall of ooze, debris, and mud. In the video, it wouldn’t make much difference if a victim caught in it could swim or not as it is the power of the flowing mass that would kill.
The flash floods the last three years, due to the extreme drought and many forest fires, when we do have them, there is no grasses or brush to hold any of the water back and massive amounts of burn ashes and limbs, etc, come down in front of the water. So, the runoffs are black and loaded with tree limbs and ash. In years past it has been a great wall of water and will be again soon. People hiking in the desert regions should be ever mindful of the danger of flash floods. It will be dry down in the flat county and heavy rains in the mountain country….and it really does run down hill…..fast….Pete
First, Randy Newman’s “Louisiana 1927” (his mother was from Louisiana). I love this video. Lots of pictures of the 1927 flood. He mentions Plaquemines, which was flooded to save New Orleans.
Ok….and what was the second point? The 1927 flood was a monster. Hope that does not happen again. At 21 feet under the level of the Mississippi, New Orleans would be totally wiped out. Thanks for coming by…Pete Hester
