1:40 thats part of the problem right there. The culverts are nowhere near big enough to support the volume. The creek/canal should also be dredged wider and deeper with rim to contain the overflow.

Problem is that this stream doesn’t empty anywhere. It’s an arroyo that just ends a little over a half mile away in the neighborhood. The water needs to disperse. Bad place to develop.
Very bad idea , I considered it once , my friend with me was scared ,so I didnt ,good thing , an hour later the water was gone , thats when I learned the road is gone too , and my friend couldnt swim , that was stupid of me I would have drowned my friend

I never intended to upload this video when recording it and its just kinda hard to hold a camera still when your witnessing chaos. Also if you want some basic context, this flood was caused by the 2019 museum fire that burned near flagstaff; the death of many trees nearby caused the soil beneath them to loosen up and turn into mud slides during this monsoon season. No one was hurt luckily, but it caused 4 million in property damage and definitely looked insane for such a mostly quiet town.

He's fine, he just needed his afternoon blunt. There was a fire in July 2019 that burned a big portion of the hills north of the neighborhood. Luckily it did not flood badly until this year, it has been doing it almost every day now.
Lol, its designed to handle a certain amount of water. This was severe flooding due to a large area of recent fire that allowed a huge amount of water to shed off the mountain without any vegetation breaks to stop and absorb it. No road drain or culvert is going to handle that.
He could've gone to the right and walked through the shallow water on the sidewalk - but no, he had to show off for all the people who were watching, and stay in the middle of the flood.
Yep that young man had no common sense, his thought well I got to get to my house, and the flood flash was moving a heavy tree trunk down the street earlier, no sense he might have been hit by a log and then it would be all over for him. Not the smartest person, clearly he thought of this as just a little light flood.
If ther was a fire Recetly in that area then it really makes flooding and erosion a far worse situation the reason for a forest and vegetation is to control such outcomes with flooding.
The water sprit is strong with this young man. He will be called Walks With Water. I lived in Jerome Az across the Verde Valley from Flagstaff. I remember the 10 foot deep walls of water in the normally dry gullies during the monsoons. I miss the smell after a rain, sage and mesquite.

That was my first time being in Flagstaff. It was fine for an hour then rain, thunder, and the floods. My Dad and I got trapped because of the flooding and couldn't get to our motel to check in.
I'm one over from Steves Ave and it was pretty bad the last few weeks. When I came home there was a car that washed up into someone's yard. I feel bad for them I hope the insurance companies are quick to get people money. This monsoon is really trying to make up for the last 2 years.
Hopefully they bought flood insurance - typically this is the sort of “extreme weather or acts of God” type of exclusion from coverage that every insurance policy includes in its language, so if someone didn’t opt for that extra insurance, all they can wish for happening quick is finding out that they’re out of luck and on their own.
Thats the problem if you use culvert pipes instead of a bridge. The pipes clog up with the first debris and than you have a dam and the water needs to finde a other way down.
Seems to me that a bridge is needed at this location. Those 2 pipes aren't enough. Apparently the frequency of this event doesn't justify the investment.
For sure. A chunk of wood or stone to the back of your ankles has never caused a serious injury. It's not being dramatic. It's kinda like, is it worth the risk. Besides his own pain, medical costs, parents grief, missed work, & a whole list of easily possible losses. The list of what ifs & why he shouldnts is so long, the reason WHY he SHOULD cross kinda disappears. It's always fine, till it's not. I'm sure he heard it from his mama.
It only takes one tree stump to knock him on his (backside) and then the people who told him not to walk there have to risk their lives to save his sorry (backside)! He's not even smart enough to walk on the right side by those houses where the current wasn't near as strong. Stupidity (Mental Illness) comes in many shapes and sizes, and degrees of severity.
Not sure what the green guy was thinking “i have to get to my house” sure you do, but you coulda waited a bit for it to be safer? Or arrived like 5 mins earlier…
He was showing off. Notice how he stayed in the middle and continued to walk nonchalantly when he could easily have stayed off the side where it was safer. He was proving a point to the people watching. Funny thing is, if he had been taken down by a stump or something and washed away, he would have been screaming to them for help like a little bitch. . . 😂
Oh, man - that is something else! I lived in Flagstaff from 1998-2002, and don't ever recall seeing really any flooding in the town (I could be forgetting some particular instance), but I feel bad for all those people whose yards, streets and possibly homes were screwed up by that debris flow. Yikes.
I just moved out at the end of 2020. This is from a fire. It has been excepted since. Lived through several floods like this do to the fires. Without the forest, the water just flows.
reminds me of the video of the news guy trying to cast total panic over a storm that was "blowing him over" and then someone walking through the background in absolutely no danger and no wind. people need to calm down.
You think that tree stump weights more than that guy? It got pushed along pretty good. And IF he did get knocked over by the flow others would have to risk their lives trying to save him. Flood water is no joke
I'm amazed how incompetent the engineers were in designing that run off canal. Thousands of dollars in flood damage could be avoided every time if they would simply dig a proper dip for the water to channel through.
Don't assume it was an engineering issue. It could very well have been a maintenance issue, since those culverts were only running at maybe 20% capacity. In any case, very few places have systems designed to handle worst case scenarios during unusual weather events.
@@jbbuzzable Did you see the concrete wall the one guy built to protect his property? That tells you this happens regularly. You have no business making arguments with those who have experience in engineering. Those culverts are sized for rain flow relief, not flash flood relief. Ten of them would never handle the flow unless it was filtered water with no debris plug. The local government is the blame for this problem.
Maybe. So you are an engineer in this field or are familiar with this local situation? If so, I have questions. Why are the culverts not carrying the amount of water they were designed to? Did the homeowner pay to have the barriers installed, knowing the property was at risk, or did the city engineers put them there knowing there was potential flood risk and the owner didn't question it.
Caveat emptor. If you are looking to rent or buy property with concrete barriers in front, ask questions. In this scenario, I'd be asking about flood insurance.
Nast. The trouble is compounded by the fact that there's lots of forest debris and the water is so muddy. That will stick around for ages. Feel for the people who's property got affected.

We've been ok here in Tucson. Reports say this July was the wettest one on record, but I haven't seen flooding like this on the news. Folks here want more rain!
Ah yes Arizona, known as one of the hottest states yet still one of the wettest. Gotta love flag! Definitely one of my favorite places I remember this flood quite well to! If I’m not mistaken I had school quite literally either the next day or a few days later we took the main road rather then side streets because of the flooding and all that
It's funny when I would go home to visit I was like what the heck are all these sand bags doing in sunny side. Oh there is supposed to be some flood coming through, 2 years later no flood and flag started to look like sand bag city, well here are the floods that they predicted, crazy 😜
Whats worst is that the dude whos house is right in front of this spontaneous river had just removed his barricades and sandbags a week earlier and his carpets got flooded for sure. That was the worst of timing.
Well, you don’t live in Arizona. I love how people chime up and blame others. The engineers, you are a keyboard genius who knows everything. It’s called fire scars. I will not tell you what it is, since you already know.
The guy in the green jacket walking in the rushing water that was powerful enough to push a tree trunk and roots down the street must have had an IQ of about 0.0000 and or a death wish.
well... why build a reservoir? to collect all the debris and tree(stumps), not to mention all the silt. Bro, that's not water, that's mud slurry. maybe build roads & homes AWAY from the gully/dry riverbeds. that could work!
Well..... hope this will be a HARD LESSON LEARNED by the government officials in Flagstaff to do a monthly cleaning of those 2 drainage pipes that run under that road! How horrific for the residents that live in that neighborhood!!
Have you gone back to shoot a video of the aftermath and cleanup? What about where the water ultimately went down the road to? Obviously the city knew something was coming and the neighbors were not too freaked out. There is a drone video of this flooding out there too.
I would have walked across too if I needed to get to the other side - the water was only ankle deep . . . 6 inches at most. People are such idiots; “OMG look at that guy . . . he’s gonna get swept away and die”. Uh, yeah sure, in 6 inches of water!

the pipes are clearly cloged up. There comes clearly less water out of the Pipes than they could let throu.
Problem is that this stream doesn’t empty anywhere. It’s an arroyo that just ends a little over a half mile away in the neighborhood. The water needs to disperse. Bad place to develop.
It is also the way the Forest Service is managing the forests now with their "let it burn" policies and not replanting in the burn scars.

The previous commenter said she saw a man hole cover floating by hence my sarcastic remark
Our city council banned flash floods back in the 1960's, and we have not one since.
I chuckled when the neighbor announced "he's 28" as he crossed the flood.
Sending all the love to the East side 💖
If he does things like this, he won’t see 29.
@@tiggersboy shut up I’ll be fine bruh
Maybe he meant that’s his IQ. . . 🤣
Tell that fool walking around rattlesnakes can swim..
Id say the infrastructure is a little under planned for this wash. Poor residents..
We've been ok here in Tucson. Reports say this July was the wettest one on record, but I haven't seen flooding like this on the news. Folks here want more rain!
I’d keep those sand bags up year round. All hands on deck.
Thats its been for 2 years now, and its barricaded twice as much now. It looks like a war zone…
dicey. almost clipped too. coulda wiped him out or broke an ankle for that valuable life lesson. nevertheless... like a boss
Ah yes Arizona, known as one of the hottest states yet still one of the wettest. Gotta love flag! Definitely one of my favorite places I remember this flood quite well to! If I’m not mistaken I had school quite literally either the next day or a few days later we took the main road rather then side streets because of the flooding and all that
plenty of karens around no matter where you go.
His dealer probably lived across the street
Hehe thats my friend who crossed 😂 “gots to see it thru my boy”

Это туалет в Фашингтоне прорвало.
It's funny when I would go home to visit I was like what the heck are all these sand bags doing in sunny side. Oh there is supposed to be some flood coming through, 2 years later no flood and flag started to look like sand bag city, well here are the floods that they predicted, crazy 😜
Whats worst is that the dude whos house is right in front of this spontaneous river had just removed his barricades and sandbags a week earlier and his carpets got flooded for sure. That was the worst of timing.
Well, you don’t live in Arizona. I love how people chime up and blame others. The engineers, you are a keyboard genius who knows everything. It’s called fire scars. I will not tell you what it is, since you already know.
@@JP-sd4ho um, okay budd
Run! Run!Run for your lives.
Wow, that wall just saved those people's house. Incredible. Did you ever found out where all that mud went that took over that street?
I'm moving out there on the 20th
WTF ( welcome to flagstaff). Ok that was cringe but still welcome.
@Adin Meeks lmao
We don't want you here
Guessing for College. You won't be anywhere near this.
@@ourcreativebeehive sweet lmao my girls going I'm gonna get my class a license
I am from So. California. Just be safe and collect the bags of sand to protect your homes, etc....take care!
The guy in the green jacket walking in the rushing water that was powerful enough to push a tree trunk and roots down the street must have had an IQ of about 0.0000 and or a death wish.
if he had an IQ of around 0000 he wouldn't even know how to walk and I see him walking
Yo that’s me, I got 130
You know year after year there's no water in Arizona , dig a damn reservoir and catch it
well... why build a reservoir? to collect all the debris and tree(stumps), not to mention all the silt.
Bro, that's not water, that's mud slurry.
maybe build roads & homes AWAY from the gully/dry riverbeds. that could work!
@@gold-diggersanonymous1085 thats right sir good point
Unfortunately Post10 cannot be everywhere to unclog culverts. 🙁
Not only in Texas i see lol
I was an NAU freshman in 2006 and the flooding was insane
love flagstaff
Well..... hope this will be a HARD LESSON LEARNED by the government officials in Flagstaff to do a monthly cleaning of those 2 drainage pipes that run under that road! How horrific for the residents that live in that neighborhood!!
Post 10 to the rescue!
Have you gone back to shoot a video of the aftermath and cleanup? What about where the water ultimately went down the road to? Obviously the city knew something was coming and the neighbors were not too freaked out.
There is a drone video of this flooding out there too.
Arizona needs the water.
Need a bigger culvert and rip rap on the banks.
This is why you don't buy a house near waterways.
I would have walked across too if I needed to get to the other side - the water was only ankle deep . . . 6 inches at most. People are such idiots; “OMG look at that guy . . . he’s gonna get swept away and die”. Uh, yeah sure, in 6 inches of water!
The cameraman behind this video must learn how to move smoother and aim for one location for a little longer instead of just shaking the camera from left to right too swiftly. I know that you see different areas with your own eyes but you must choose to concentrate and make good videos or just make some shaky footage as an unprofessional….
Those people that live there will have a hard time, maybe impossible time, selling there homes to move out of there...
Feel sorry for those people
Looks like someone forgot to turn off a faucet.
We are from the natural force channel, will it be possible for you to release the images to publish in our channel? I'm looking forward to it thank you very much!
Turn around, don't drown!!
The guy crossing at 3:44 ...
An ex from Stafford, AZ would be dumb enough to drive through that too.
So where was the end of this when it finally stopped?
I hope the people in the homes there got to evacuate! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Watching Post 10 videos brought me here. That culvert design would tick him off 😂😂😂
Las personas ven el peligro y no s3 van parecengallinas en el baile de las cucarachas
The people just stand there and watch the guy trying to save his house wow !
So beautiful Flagstaff Arizona
Wonderful 😂😂😂, what an amazing scenes. So many other media not reporting on this, like godi media.
This kind of thing in Ct causes kayakers
Don't Drown, Turn Around. Dummies will Pay.

Psalm 91
New International Version
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
I'd say those culverts aren't quite big enough.
But... what happened next ?!
I would like to see all this mud water to be drain. They need post 10 here !
