In Kaysville, residents who live on Orchard Ridge Drive, Stone House Bend and Cobblewood Court have been urged to get their vehicles out of the area because “the stability of roads and infrastructure cannot be immediately determined.”
About two dozen new homes were evacuated early Wednesday in Kaysville because of “significant flooding” that caused some sections of neighborhood roadway to collapse, creating holes more than 10 feet deep, according to the city., near Salt Lake City’s east bench, as warmer temperatures accelerated snowmelt, prompting some street flooding. The advisory runs through about noon on Thursday.
As the roadway ultimately collapsed, they heard a huge crash: Large boulders had tumbled into dumpsters that fell into the sinkhole that had developed on half their street. The couple decided not to evacuate so that their son, 3-year-old Archer, could stay asleep, but the parents never managed to go back to bed.The Utah region of the American Red Cross had initially set up an evacuation center in a Latter-day Saint meetinghouse located at 1085 N. 50 East. But by about 10 a.m., everyone who had been evacuated had found another place to stay, a spokesperson said.
Street flooding in Salt Lake City closed 1700 South between 1500 East and 1700 East on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.
