Torrential downpours turned parts of Moab into a raging river Saturday as floods caused officials to warn people to stay away.
The National Weather Service reported up to 1 to 2 inches of rain fell in Moab on Saturday night.
The city said the Spanish Trail Arena at 3641 South U.S. 191 is open and available to be used as a shelter for any residents who feel unsafe. The city advised residents whose homes have been flooded to dry out materials as quickly as possible to avoid mold. If concerned about mold, they can contact the Southeast Utah Health Department at 435-259-5602. Residents with septic sewer systems can also contact the department if their systems were affected by the flood.
When cleaning up tree branches or other forms of large debris, the city asks residents and businesses to place them on the curb for city or county crews to remove throughout the week. However, they ask that the debris not be placed in the road to avoid clogging storm drains. The Moab Landfill will accept storm debris during normal business hours.
