Repairs from Moab flash flood may take years

Friday evening’s flash flooding in Moab may leave years of work, according to an official..

“These things can sometimes take years,” Moab City Manager David Everitt said. “We’re actually still doing repairs from the floods from two years ago.”

Everitt said a couple of major construction projections have taken substantial hits by the heavy downpour.

A flash flood swept through Moab on Friday evening, drenching the region with just under an inch of rain in 10 minutes. That’s about of month’s worth of downfall.

Grand County Emergency Management issued a Flash Flood Warning at Mill Creek around 7 p.m. Water overflowed banks and bridges at 400 East and 300 South and authorities evacuated people from Woody’s Tavern and near Zax on 100 South, according to the Moab City Police Department.

Hours of rainfall shut down roads and flooded homes and businesses.

Cpl. Haley Scheer with the Utah State Department of Public Safety warned that “there’s going to be intermittent closures throughout different parts of the county.”

The Moab City Police has asked the public to “slow down and drive cautiously on Moab surface streets” due to debris. City and county officials are currently working to clean the roads.

Everitt emphasized that repairing critical infrastructures will be a priority for the next few days. He added that he was happy to see Kane Creek Boulevard up and running again, fully repaired as of Saturday afternoon.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready.
