filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Significant flash flooding was reported along Chalk Creek following a heavy thunderstorm. The dramatically increased flow damaged two campgrounds in the area, washed out one bridge, and knocked down several trees along the banks.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms impacted the Halfway Hill Fire burn scar area during the afternoon hours. Subsequently, the Millard County Emergency Manager reported that there were heavy flows out of Copleys Canyon within the burn scar, with flows and debris across the main canyon road and into a campground. This required rock and debris removal.
There were high flows from Halfway Hill burn scar into Pine Creek. There was a clogged culvert in Virginia Hills which caused flow to go into backyards.
