I don’t think this guy is taking this seriously enough, lol
why would you build houses in a wash!
“Hey, I built my house on a flood plain, what could possibly go wrong?”
It also seems like the patio drainage wasn’t built properly either, with all that pooling water immediately next to the house.
They saw the day before it almost breeched the earth levee they built. Had plenty of time to stack sand bags.
Looks like Utah.
Where is North Hills and why is the water so black?
this was in Pine Valley UT, near the town of Enterprise. Yet another (badly designed?) instant suburb. They are being tossed up all over rural Utah to sell to retirees who want to “get away from it all”. This is doubly hilarious because Washington County is suffering from severe water shortages, partly thanks to excessive suburban growth.

And this, boys and girls, is why you don’t build a subdivision in a floodplain. Mother Earth will ALWAYS reclaim what we’ve taken eventually, but some places will be reclaimed faster than others, lol.
Is that dry gash gulch ?
My favorite part of the video is when they get a shovel and start pushing water onto the grass.
That’s a nice looking lawn they’ve got.
Is this normal for some neighborhoods? Could some heavy equipment or sandbags prevented this!? I am floored these people are calmly standing around.
That looks like a man made trench. Looks like they need a bigger trench.
Did they build their property perfectly level? Doesn’t really look like the water goes anywhere on his patio/lawn, just sits there.
Flash flood are no joke. I live in Arizona and experienced one while on my pontoon boat at saguaro lake. It had only been a slight drizzle for 5 hours during July (which was slightly unusual). https://youtu.be/x_Aq7VpSORk
The south west is so dry that even when it rains the water has a hard time soaking into the ground. Eventually most of the water that falls in the south west finds it’s way into the grand canyon. Or what I I like to call it, USA’s shower drain.
That must be hard to watch, I can only imagine.
Is this something usual? They all look so calm while looking at the thing, like it’s something they see on a regular basis.
