Flash Floods in May? (Halls Creek Narrows Video)

What a dramatic and entertaining video. Thank you for talking about the canyon winds and even the smell of the flood. I also like how you kept looking for high ground as you moved and can relate to that, kind of spooky. While we have never been down in a canyon while it was flashing to that extreme we did see one decades ago, a dry wash about 20' across and around the bend comes a 4" high flood of water moving slow enough to make us laugh but it was bank to bank and a sunny day. Raining in the mountains a ways off. Yours is much more powerful.
