Geez, what a mess. Ava, Echo said she is about 42 miles from Zion, so she isn't near that area at least. Not sure about this one. Goes to show you how powerful nature can be.

I think I will take my snow. At least I know I can move it and it will just melt away and be gone. Not like all that mud they are going to have to deal with.

Can you believe the idiots standing on the bridges watching the huge debris float under!? How dangerous! Wonder why the athorities are allowing that.
Some of the land will be changed forever as the flood waters carve away at the earth.

I couldn't believe it either, then there was the guy on the opposite side almost got hit
by a truck, at least it looked that way from the angle of the video.

Wow! that is amazing video! I think the Sunbrook Golf Course is near St George.
But probably the whole region is experiencing extremely high river flows following those storms. Thanks for posting this Ava. It's a great reminder to me to be in gratitude I am not working in those kinds of events anymore!

I've seen that before!

I live along the Delaware river, and it has flooded many times, taking out several homes with it, and completely covering roads on both the NY and PA sides.

I'm glad that I live one mile up off the river, but some of my neighbor are stupid enough to keep on rebuilding on the same site!

I don't even think they have flood ins.

Great video!

I was shocked at the video of those homes being flooded in Littlefield AZ. I worked 6 months in Mesquite, worked in Nevada, lived in Littlefield, AZ and shopped in St. George Utah...heck I never knew what time it was as AZ never changes, Utah is Mountain time, and Nevada was PST.. hah I was in my RV but I was on "high ground" on a bluff overlooking the Virgin River but I know exactly where that community is. When I was there I never saw more than a "trickle" of muddy water in the river. Guess it was a dry season when I was there.
