The South Fork Ogden River continues to spill over its banks, threatening homes and property. That's why the community was out this week working together to redirect those waters and minimize the damage.
When you live by the water, you get used to certain things, like the sometimes calming sound. But on Monday, that wasn't the case.Hill's family has owned this cabin since just after World War II.But it's hard to plan for the unpredictable. And now, the river is running over its banks and through the sandbag walls.
"We're planning on the river going another foot higher than I think it was ... last night when it peaked," Hill said. "So, we're thinking it might go over 6 feet.""We kind of sort of expect it, but it got bad very, very fast," said Kim Tolley. The campground Tolley manages and lives at is now covered in water. County workers had to breach the river there to protect a bridge. Thankfully, they had shut down the campground in anticipation of this kind of thing.And then there's Julie Berry's family.Her family spent time Monday building up the wall outside their vacation spot, hoping to keep the waters back.In the meantime, volunteers in the area continue to work all hours of the day.
The problems extended downstream as flood waters encroach on the road and a fast-moving river inches dangerously close to a bridge and other houses. "Last night, it went up eight inches, and it's going to do the same thing — maybe even go up more tonight, and it's supposed to be at the highest peak on Thursday," Taintor said."If it's only a few more inches, I think we're good. But if we see another foot and a few inches, that's going to be scary," said Leroy Palmer."We just roll with the punches on this high water," Palmer said. "Just feel grateful for everything we have.
