Fish Creek Flash Flood Anza Borrego

Post by Jim_b »

Reader Bill reports

Recent heavy rains in Fish Creek shows what happens when you don’t listen to the weather forecasts. Flash floods were predicted yet a father and son drove to Wind Caves to hike in the morning. Their truck was washed 1.75 miles down Split Mountain and the father and son were helicoptered out. Luckily 911 works without any bars showing on a phone.

Also there was a flash flood along rt 78 near Ocotillo Wells

Hey...that's my husbands photo! We went out there Monday night. The nice Mesquite tree stopped it from going any further!
