A really interesting video that shows the process of a road being destroyed by a surge of water perhaps caused by the drainage under the road being blocked by the tree from what I gather. It’s a little long but there are certainly a few wow moments in it.

Once in a while, nature decides to give us a good kick in the ass.

Moving water is quite the destructive force. The most telling point of the video was the drainage pipe surfacing above where the road surface used to be. Once that pipe was blocked destruction was inevitable. Very interesting to watch.

I was really surprised when the metal culvert suddenly came floating up. It’s a great study in road bed failure.
I kept waiting for a car to drive into the gap.

Long video? It took less than two minutes for that road to collapse. That’s not very much time at all. And yes, don’t mess with Mother Nature.

Probably in my neck of the woods, Pudifoot. Our northwest town had a small bridge go out just like that a year ago, and the road was just reopened 2 weeks ago.

WOW! That was just insane! I hope no one was injured by accidentally driving onto this road after it washed out. Crazy!

That was a road in the town that I live in. It was filmed by Channel 8, and the road is STILL being worked on. We had quite a few roads flood, making it literally impossible to get to your house. It happened in August of this year.

Lots of water + undersized drainage pipe + obstruction = massive erosion.
I wonder if there is a standard that road workers must follow when placing those courrogated draiage pipes based on CFM of runoff plus a safety margin, or if it is just a bunch of guesswork.
