Flood July 3, 2011 – July 11, 2011 · Daggett County, Utah

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

High releases were necessary to alleviate inflated inflow into Flaming Gorge Reservoir due to heavy runoff from melting snow that occurred from the record snow pack in the Central Rockies. The high releases created low land flooding below the reservoir, caused some bank erosion and impacted recreation along the river.

The wider storm

High releases were necessary for water control on Flaming Gorge Reservoir which created high flows downstream of the dam through early July.

Began near Dutch John (40.8896, -109.4458).
