The 1993 mega-debris pile on the lower Verde River, AZ

Set_a_01_062

I just had 2.8 Gb of old slides scanned and found my favorite flood
debris picture in the world. This is me standing in the midst of the
enormous flotsam pile that was deposited along the lower Verde River,
1993 following two very large floods that occurred back-to-back that year. 

Once I saw this mess, I was hooked and made studying the historical
and paleoflood history of the Verde River one-half of my PhD
dissertation at U or A. Stay tuned for more pictures of this event and
how it compares to the recent flooding.
