Hey,
I'm a Hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City. Prior to getting a real job, I had been a river guide, canoe guide, and a ski patrolman.
Part of the job I have now is to warn for flash floods down south. I thought this forum may be a nice source to gain any information on recent flooding in the area.
If you find the time, please drop me a PM if you wish to impart any info on recent flood events, or would like to share any info regarding flash flooding.
Thanks everybody.
Brian. |

Hey Brian -
Check back here after heavy rains. Sometimes people will give updates on slot canyons after flash flooding.

| This is great. Usually, I'm trying to find out if our warnings verified or not by calling the dispatch people. It's seems my life has gotten better. |
