Runoff brings ash into Rio Grande

This is a crazy video of runoff from all the fires that have happened in the past few months. Now that it's finally raining, the ash is flowing into the river and making it look like flowing tar. It's only part of the Rio Grande, and it seems to be primarily affecting Albuquerque and surrounding areas right now. Still, it's pretty wild.

Well thats pretty crazy thats something you don't see every day. Too bad for all of the fish and other critters in the river.

This is a prophesy written in the bible as well as passed down by the hoping Indians, probably plenty of others.

"Man will set the world ablaze" always comes before "a vial will be opened and poured and the waters will turn black."

This is something that I never considered, that ash from a large fire would get into a river, and possibly into the water supply and into the water that is used for farming.

What was interesting in the video, is where they mention that they are not sure what was used to put out the fire, so they are not sure what is in the water. It seems like it would be easy to find out what kind of chemicals were used, but it does not sound good. Hope that there is enough water from upstream to disperse that ash and whatever else is in the water.
