I just saw on the news that Utah just broke the record for the most rainfall in the month of May. The average is just over 2". To date, Utah has received 5.16". Not a record we really want to have. The flooding in the Weber River is already happening, and once the snow pack starts to melt, there will be more flooding.
Signs-of-the-times.
In Plain City, the most popular mode of transportation is the canoe.
"Tuesday the river jumped its banks in seven locations in Weber County and farmers in West Weber knew it was going to happen.
"We could see it coming," said Rex Hancock. "The river was just swelling."
Hancock and other farmers tried sandbagging or building barriers around their farmland but it was no match when the levee broke.
"It just came down and kept coming down and wouldn't stop," said Blair Hancock who lost about sixty acres of alfalfa." ABC4 News Story
