I have seen debris flows IRL and in film and been at the end of them as they hit a larger river and I've never seen one move that quickly. Those folks were just lucky they weren't swept away.

Life, can come at you fast.
Physics, chemistry & biology don’t have a conscience, nor compassion.
I hope they make it out of there unharmed.
Having that much volume of water above you in an environment that isn’t structured to sustain it against gravity, is a really bad place to stay, if you don’t have to.
