Utah flood!

Utah has had record snowfall this year, which is great for the ski resorts - one of them is staying open until July 4th! However, this is not so great for the people who like to fly fish, because now all that snow is melting and combining with the unusual amount of rain we've had to produce flooding in a lot of the little creeks that come down the mountains.

This is a park near my house where I run. Below is a pond that is fed by one of the creeks. As you can see, it is overflowing onto the road. There were actually ducks swimming across the street!
As you can also see, the sandbags are not doing very much good. Some Vicksburgians need to show them how it's done!
