That's No River, That's a Highway! Flash Floods Caught On Video

Gripping video of a mountain coming apart in Utah was shot by a family driving on Interstate 15.    

Another harrowing image was taken on the same highway in Las Vegas when a minivan owned by Margie and Loren Miller was swept backwards.

Margie told reporters, "It was like a waterfall. And we went down in that."

Margie was found floating in the raging current when she was rescued by a Las Vegas police officer.

Loren scrambled to the top of the van. Construction workers tossed him a rope and pulled him to safety.

It wasn't a river. It was the highway! That's what some motorists found when they stepped out of their cars and walked to the edge of the collapsed interstate as water rushed by. Definitely a bad idea!

In Riverside, California, water poured down the side of a mountain and flooded a country club.

The state of Arizona has also been hit by flash floods. Two people were killed by the fast moving waters there.

Wild weather causing havoc across America.
