I don't think so! Entertaining video though!

• The Most Amazing Accident On Road Produced By Rain [2009-12]
  Not sure where this is from, but suppose from "out West".
  The Western and Eastern states of the US have different ideas on what makes a "flash flood".
  East: heavy rains causing general flooding over a number of hours.
  West: heavy rains in rock mountains cause massive runoffs resulting in walls of water moving down channels at high speeds, which can continue to areas without clouds or rain, to the surprise of those in flash flood gullies.
