Monstrous Flash Flood & Debris Flow l Johnson Canyon, UT 7/16/2018

Witness a monstrous flash flood rip through Johnson Canyon, Utah on July 16, 2018. This flash flood came down with major debris from up near the Bryce Canyon area, including massive pine trees and other refuse from higher elevations. I was able to intercept the flood multiple times as it passed down the canyon. Thank you @rankinstudio for another perfect flash flood forecast and guiding me in this intercept.

If you're wondering where the water from a flash flood comes from, flash floods occur after intense and heavy rainfall, when the ground can no longer absorb the water. Flash floods are so dangerous because they basically create rivers where there were none, and as you can see in this video, they often carry tons of heavy debris with them. Flash floods have the power to move boulders, parked cars, tear out trees, and destroy buildings and even bridges!
