    Default Easy to see how one can get caught....

    I could never understand how people got caught in flooded creeks until I saw this video clip from NSW earlier this year.

    You really don't get much time if you are foolish enough to stop / camp in a dry creek bed while a storm is raging upstream.

    As the guy says..."you don't see that every day".

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonay in one hand - Strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming - "WOO WOO...What a ride"

    Wow. I've only seen one other example like that in my whole working life (Traralgon Ck 1978 for those interested). Think I'll bookmark that for my hydrography students - great example of a hydraulic jump.
