Download Video: Closed Format: MP4 Open Format: OGG / WebM

Sudden and torrential rainfall on hillsides left bare by last fall's wildfires caused dangerous flash flooding in several Orange County canyons on Thursday, May 22. A USGS Webcam, installed in December, captured the rush of water and debris in Modjeska Canyon starting shortly after noon. The video shows photos taken every 30 seconds from noon to 1 p.m.
