That was really interesting, having not seen anything like it before. To see the water come around the corner, fill up the waterhole, then slow find its way out to head further down. I was surprised how fast it gets in a very short time.

Yeah from nothing to full, nature does amaze you.

I wonder how often people get caught unawares with this type of thing.

I was thinking that Firefly. Would have loved to stand on the bank watching it but then thought, How far away would you have to park, there's no knowing just how big it could get.

I saw a flash flood up north once, not a cloud in the sky, dry river bed, water just came down with a woosh suddenly, they reckon it would have come from miles away where they had rain.  Glad I wasn't in the river bed !! blankstare
