So that's how it happens!

Seeing the initial suction that underway was generating, it's easy to understand why so many people drown in floods. Over here in North Queensland, we have large stormwater run offs for cyclone season, and more than a few people who go "play" in the run off end up dead because they misjudge the force of water...

Cool to watch, but it would suck to be in it...

Was there a pipe underground that showed up at the end?

It looked like a graboid to me.

So that's how the roads in silent hill got the way they are.

EDIT: When that piping popped the guard rail up, it scared the shit out of me. I said wtf is that out loud.

That was the tunnel area where normal drainage would occur. It jumped to the surface after the run off water unburied it. It was either clogged or couldn't keep up with the amount of water needed to go from one side to the other. Once the water level came up to the top of that, it was only a mater of time before that road was undermine.

ZOOM OUT!! GEE WHIZ!

Some people have no clue how to record a road getting destroyed. It's like he's never done it before. Amateur!



I wouldn't call this a "flood." I'd call it a clogged drain pipe.

Aye, a plugged-up culvert.

There was a tree stuck in the culvert. They designed it to handle many things, but uprooted freaking trees didn't make their list.

So... they failed to plan ahead? Whenever you see a plugged drainage system, what is stuck in it, cows?

Looks like they used a culvert when they should have used a bridge.

They obviously never played Sid Mier's Sim Flood.

Actually I liked how it was shot. Nice eye for detail and decent composition. When my house slides down the hill, I'm calling this guy to shoot the video.

Anyone who is impressed by the size of that hole has obviously never driven around in the south lake district of Seattle!

Judging from the amount of water building up to the right of the road and how much was still left after the road started to collapse, I wonder if the culvert was just damaged to begin with. It looked like it was partially bent closed when it rose out of the ditch, although that might have been damage because of the "dam" of dead wood that was seen at the beginning of the footage.

Wonder how much money that would take to fix?

The lack of voice over during the video is greatly appreciated. It really helps put things in perspective just watching Mother Nature do as she pleases as if mankind never existed.

Before the vid started I was expecting to be distracted with audible discussion and approaching cars nearly crashing into the asphalt crevasse.

Very nice.

Or the drainage pipe.

I like how the pipe that was supposed to drain away the water crept up towards the end like an angry metal monster. *engineering failure!

Gee, I wonder how the cameraperson knew the culvert would get plugged? And how they just happened to show up with a camera?

Hmmm...
