    Wow this guy didn’t ask for a dime. He could’ve really pushed when she asked if he needed help. Those are the people I want to help
  • @HolyChikin
    Tip: if the police are leaving, it is a good idea to do the same.
  • So as a fellow Arizonan I can't understand why with how very precious water is in our state that we don't have catch basins and holding ponds to use this water. It may cause some damage and my heart to those folks but by catching it we can actually put it to use for good....... it makes sense to me.

    the pizza shop owner sounds like a Real Genuine guy.

    Flash flooding is no joke . It can happen so fast and it's powerful.
  • @meegssan5716
    that trucker seemed pretty intent on making his delivery
  • @ScottDLR
    Amazing how everyone has to finish effing with their camera while the waters rise around them before they finally drive away.
  • Joe is such a sweet man… I pray he and all are able to get back in their feet.
  • @doctorcameltoe
    stuff like this reminds me that whenever i bitch about my life being shitty - someone else is probably going thru a lot worse... hopefully the locals will rally behind this business once open again
  • @joburke6448
    Next time your son warns you of impending danger, please don’t hesitate to listen. I’m glad he alerted you enough for you to keep an eye on the water and was able to escape with all of your family and staff. Glad you didn’t lose your entire business.
  • @philwhipple4557
    The lady in the truck needs to have a brain scan to find out if she has one. I'm pretty sure it's gone.
  • Sorry about all this Joe. You seem to be such a humble guy. I am happy that you got volunteer help. Get back on your feet as soon as possible. God speed ! Trinidad & Tobago.
  • @Lavalamp-yk1zo
    That’s why it’s called a flash flood. Happens in the blink of an eye. Almost literally. And don’t forget, it’s SILENT.
  • That truck driver is persistent on getting that load closer to its destination lol
  • The reason it's called "Flash flood" it's because it happens fast...! And without warning.
  • @macbook802
    "I've been here 63 years and this has never happened before" words of wisdom
  • @j.t.cooper2963
    Thats why they call it "Flash Flood". Because it happens in a flash.
  • @jamespayne80
    Prayers r going out to all of these families who have been affected by this.
  • @dcsparkles
    Those people taking pictures were seconds away from getting swept away smh.🤦‍♀️
