I already wrote about it once, but I have to share this other video that came out of the disaster, because it is so wild.

It demonstrates why they call them flash floods. At the beginning of the video, the situation doesn't seem that bad. But in 10 or 15 seconds all hell is breaking loose.
The video also shows why they always keep saying not to drive your car into even what appears to be shallow flood waters.
In this clip nobody is driving any of the cars, they're all parked. But you can see how water that really isn't that deep can sweep vehicles away.
In any event, this "weather porn" video is a fascinating second look at one of the most dramatic flash floods in the nation this year, in a year in which there have been more floods than I can remember.
Here's the vid:
