Memories come "flooding" back to me this time of year (scroll down two posts to an excerpt from my memoirs. My family survived a deadly flash flood in 1961 in which many people perished).
You've probably heard that a flash flood occurs within mere seconds, turning a creek into a raging muddy river, and thought it was an exaggeration.
Here's an amazing real-time video clip. Keep one eye on the timer as you watch and see what happens within one, and then two minutes. Wild stuff.
