Awesome video of recent flood event on the sandy river. These events shape the channel that you see the rest of the year. Enjoy

Very cool HD action, interesting to think about how people were skiing over all that water in the higher elevations just a couple of days prior to the filming.

Probably DSLR...

EDIT: Yup! In the video details... "Shot with a canon 60d and canon 7d."

I've never been so relaxed watching natural disaster footage. Really well done!

That video reminds me of a geomorphology class I took once where this home owner that lived in the floodplain put these HUGE fucking boulders near the bank. Like the size of small cars. The instructor had an "after the flood picture" and one of those boulders was in the guys kitchen.

Moral of the story.. There is NO stopping that shit.

Nature porn. Nice.

Sexy music, hardcore action, I think I even saw a pizza guy in there somewhere.
