Watch as these Australians film a small creek that becomes a rushing river and eventually carries an entire parking lot of cars away. Make sure you wait (or skip ahead) to the end, where you can see all the cars heaped in a pile where the river deposited them. Australia's Queensland state, if you haven't heard, is experiencing devastating floods.
Thanks, Atley
