Utah cities face severe flooding and property damage.

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall signed an emergency order to support residents amid spring flooding, which caused damage to homes and roads in Kaysville and Bountiful. The flooding was caused by accelerated snowmelt, which inundated the city storm drain system. Volunteers were called to help fill sandbags to mitigate damage. The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for Emigration Creek, near Salt Lake City’s east bench, as warmer temperatures accelerated snowmelt, prompting some street flooding. A strong cold front was expected to move into northern Utah overnight Wednesday into Thursday.
