2010 Flood

Our city getting drenched. Check out the Virgin River in the back.
The sun came out for just about 2 minutes this morning and we looked out the window and this is what we saw, A Beautiful Rainbow. Another testament of our Heavenly Father's love for everyone, he is watching over all of us and has everything under control. WOW!!! Amazing!
A new bridge that got washed down the River. It is just amazing to see Mother Nature come alive.
The Virgin River coming across the Southgate Golf Course
With all of this rain a dam near Zion's was compromised and they evacuated Rockville, Springdale and Virgin. Which meant my brother Clay, had to evacute his facility of 42 boys to a nearby Stake Center.
There were so many road closures because of the water overtaking the roads and the Virgin and Santa Clara were at its peak. It has been raining for over a week, non-stop and this is the results.

It brought back alot of bad memories from 6 years ago.
They say that the flood back then was the 100 yr flood, well 6 yrs later, it's 94 yrs too early!!!
Lots of water and debris, the workers keeping an eye on the waters. The backhoe machines are digging out the debris to keep the water flowing.
