In fact, Thunderstorms that develop over burn areas can produce Flash Flooding and Debris Flows nearly as fast as National Weather Service radar can detect the rainfall. The important point is that for any burn area it will take much less rainfall to result in flash flooding than it would have before the wildfire occurred. The susceptibility to flash flood within the burned area is greatest during the first two years following the fire. A general rule of thumb is that half an inch of rainfall in less than an hour is sufficient to cause Flash Flooding in a burn area, but this can be more or less depending on the factors above. Areas of less severe burn damage and flatter terrain will be able to absorb more water leading to more time before flooding develops even in heavier precipitation. Steep terrain combined with a severe burn scar and light precipitation can result in flash flooding within minutes of precipitation beginning. Thankfully, the flames did not continue to all of the in-transport sports cars, and it appears that only four cars succumbed to the flames.The time required for a flash flood to begin depends on how severe the fire was and how steep the terrain is, combined with the rate of precipitation. We will warn you there is some language in the video, so little ears may not want to be present during viewing.įor the very same reason corporations do not like for several high executives to travel together since these Corvettes were literally stacked upon each other when the flames reached beyond the confines of the truck, the Corvettes were next in line to fuel the fire. For this trip, those dreams were dashed somewhere in Tennessee, when it appears the tractor hauling the Corvettes had a severe malfunction and began to burn.Ī member of the C8 Corvette Owners (And Friends) Facebook page posted a couple of videos shot while the truck (and several Corvettes) burned. Each transporter that hauls Corvettes out of the plant can carry up to 10 Corvette dreams to their expectant new owners. Many owners anxiously await the notification their Corvettes are making their way down the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly line. As if there hadn’t been enough reasons for customers to have to wait for their C8 Corvettes over the past couple of years, now a few more soon-to-be owners have been moved to the back of the line.
