Without recrimination or second guessing the participants in the above story... when you camp in a canyon how do you judge "safe" height to camp?

Very sad for the Brock family. Words can't express how badly they must feel.

On a second note, THIS is what a flash flood is. I get so annoyed when I read newspaper articles about flooding, and the writers can't help but put the "flash" in front of flood. Flash floods come with almost no warning, and can be a raging wall of water tearing down a canyon.

Steve, did you try to make the word FLASH a live link? If yes, it does not work.
