This is how you die, fast.

Heavy rains will make the smallest creek a death trap. Know your limits. I know everyone here is aware but every now and then a reminder isn't a bad idea.

If you guys search for more crazy driving videos from Russia, all your guesses would be confirmed.

I remember myself staring at a creek in AZ two weeks ago... with thunderstorms all around the place. Then I remembered one other white D1 buried in quicksand, and backed off.

well he did hit the bank at the wrong angle, so much he could have done different

It's more like liquefaction. Earth absorbs so much water from underneath, it turns to mush.

FWIW, the creek I considered crossing was Moenkopi Wash near Blue Canyon. Just dug up this fine plot from USGS site:

In a wash with median flow of 0.0 cubic feet per second, it reached 450 cf/s on July 27 when I considered crossing it.

take the kids out then stick him in the neck with a fork. Idiot tax.

one does not really need to know their limit to know not to cross that. the only way to cross a stream of that speed nd depth is luck.

this stuff is common here. the worst is when you are caught unexpectedly. to make the decision to cross is silly.
