With all the rain
I was surprised to see someone was swimming up there too. Along with the rain we've had some cold weather as well. The water flow gets so unpredictable when it's rainy, especially if there's a downpour a few miles up slope.
Here's drone footage from a flash flood at Twin Falls on Maui a few years ago that shows how quickly the water flow can change in a stream and over a waterfall. Fortunately all of the swimmers that day were rescued:
