Flood — Summit, Utah

2014-02-09 · near Coalville, Summit, Utah

Event narrative

Much of the precipitation remained as rain in Coalville, and two straight days of rain proved to be too much for one of the open culverts in the town. When that drainage system failed to handle the volume of water, four homes were flooded along 150 South in Coalville, with two of those homes experiencing extensive flooding. One of the significantly damaged homes was flooded with a couple feet of water, and the other had 6 inches of water.

Wider weather episode
