Epic Lake Storm Caught on Camera: Lake Powell Flash Flood

Published 2024-06-28
In the video of Lake Powell during a massive monsoon, captured from Wahweap, you'll witness nature's raw power unleashed upon the landscape. Dark, ominous clouds dominate the sky, casting a foreboding shadow over the lake. The scene is punctuated by rain and dust near Castle Rock and Antelope Island in the distance.
As the camera pans, you'll see the waters of the bay roiling violently under the storm's assault, waves crashing against the shores. Castle Rock stands as a stoic sentinel, battered by wind and rain, while Antelope Island is seen throwing dust into the air as the storm passes over it.
Golf ball-sized hail can be seen pelting the surface of the lake in the distance. The once calm waters are now a chaotic expanse, with the monsoon's ferocity evident in every frame. The shoreline is strewn with debris, and the vegetation sways violently. This footage captures the awe-inspiring and terrifying power of a monsoon at Lake Powell, leaving an indelible impression of nature's might.
I’d recommend all boaters go watch @ExploreWithThor and his very important video if you’ve never experienced a storm on Lake Powell

Over the years I've been in a few of those on that lake. It can get real harry real quick.

Oh that was a beauty! Such power...yup you were at the right place. Feel bad for the people in tents at Lone Rock, stakes wont work. A micro burst happened a couple years back at LR we were done kayaking and chillin but had to tie off some tents to our truck so the campers tents wouldn't blow away. Talk about sandblasted!

That’s way up on the daaaang meter! Nice vid.
-
That storm was awesome shrouding the rock formations off in the distance. Great video.

Too many LP weather stories to share here but one of the best.. we were heading up channel towards the San Juan and got into a storm like this. Big bro was driving the houseboat, we were towing a ski boat. I looked out the back and the ski boat was attempting a pass on the houseboat driven by the wind and waves so bro had to go faster to keep the ski boat behind us. Good times! Thanks for this great vid :D

Wow, these are fascinating. Nature knows its Power
-
Love storms at Powell! The waterfalls are epic!
-
i love your vids, the boat exiting lake looks like a skiier, not laker, bigger camp boats are long staged in protected areas, but your perfect example shows the demise of not getting where safely off channel, and might still not exist, ive seen this many miles up lake, over and over, and love the challenge of their violent weathers demise!!!

Crazy storm. What’s even crazier is what happened up on the San Juan and through the Moab area. Someone was saying the SJ got up over 20k.

We could use that on East Coast. Incredible footage of storms.

I was in something like that a few hours ago and it had hundreds of lightning strikes, but I didn’t see even one in that video.

I was in warm creek as all this was happening and it was a scary time because the storm the wind was just blowing so hard and blue tents and a tumbleweeds in the distance. It was bad.
