I was watching a video likely on CNN of a women in North Las Vegas holding onto a freeway cement pillar to try to keep from being swept away in water swiftly moving up to her neck. They said that she later was rescued and didn't die in the torrent of brown water that usually accompanies a flash flooding incident. So, when I saw the last article it made sense because the same weather pattern likely hit Death Valley too and buried a lot of cars and stranded people. If you watch the Twitter video the water is only less than one foot deep but you notice it is really spread out for a block in width or more.
When I faced a wall of water it was much deeper than the twitter video in the last article because it was several feet deep out of the Big Bear mountains coming towards me across the desert in 1969. Only because I realized what it was in time and I had a fast and maneuverable 1968 Camaro did I and my Camaro both survive that wall of water coming down out of the mountains and across the deserts then.
