A day after storms ravaged several northern Utah communities, some residents are still drying out and dealing with the aftermath of the wicked weather.'Over about a 30 minute period of time, we received about an inch of rain,” said Chris Tschirki, Public Works Director for Orem City. “We would consider it to be greater than a 100 year storm event.'Orem was hit hard by a severe rain and hailstorm. For some, what has been pretty damaging.
'It’s been heartbreaking for us as landlords to see them have to go through that,' added Knapp. 'It's not fun.” Knapp has had to tear out the carpet in the unit, as well as the drywall. The insulation and doors will also require extensive work.Across the city, the storm drainage system was overwhelmed. 'These types of events occur so infrequently, I’ve never seen an event like this in Orem in 30 years, but they do happen on occasion,” said Tschirki.
