I know we aren't the only ones that had flooding by our house, and I know there are others that had awful experiences with this flooding but the river a couple blocks below our house did have some pretty major flooding that we stopped to see on Sunday.
KSL and Fox were there to catch some footage.
Here is the water pouring over the road. There is a bridge just down from the road and they actually diverted the water to go on the road in an effort to keep it from taking out the bridge.
This is where they piled all sorts of debris to keep the water off the bridge.
These next pics are a little farther south. And they were taken a week or so before. You can see the river overflowing the sides of the bank and flooding the field.
Now, the river has totally broke through the sides of the bank. The river is now flowing freely through fields rather then in the river bed. Pretty crazy. It has of course calmed down somewhat now (well before all the rain....) I find this to all be pretty interesting! So, sorry if this post was a little boring :)

I love weather posts HA.
The rain and flooding y'all are getting this year is nuts, I think it's expected to get worse right? I hope y'all stay safe and don't get any damage.
Last Sunday I drove up by Blacksmith Fork and saw the bridge covered in water. I know that's so close to your house so good luck. I hope the water doesn't keep rising cuz this is crazy.
Oh, wow.
