Heavy rain producing thunderstorms caused several feet of water to flow through Seven Mile Canyon, flooding a BLM campground. A camper caught in the flood had to evacuate his trailer and climb into his truck via the roof and drive to higher ground while watching his trailer get lifted off its jacks and float about 15 feet from its original position.
