Major flash flooding in Death Valley National Park this morning. Approximately two dozen vehicles trapped in mud and rock debris at the Inn at Death Valley. Took nearly 6 hours to get out. #cawx #stormhour
Highway 190 and Badwater Rd junction. Whole palm trees from the hotel were washing over the road.
Badwater Rd is somewhere underneath this massive debris flow.
Many dirt side roads are impassible and washed out completely.
Most of Highway 190 looks something like this. Getting out required moving a lot of boulders and tree debris.
The towing companies will have their work cut out for them today.
If you move enough boulders from the road, Aspen will find a way to make it out and get some love!
About six hours of this but we made it out safely and with no vehicle damage. Helped as many people as possible along the way. Hopefully everyone else made it out without incident!
