Weber River Flooding 2011

The Weber River crested last night (hopefully for the last time this year) and I took my camera with me while on the way to an appointment to catch some photos.  I thought Fort Buenaventura would be a good place to take some photos since the Pioneers quickly moved from that location due to flooding in the 1850's.


Miles Goodyear Park was nearly covered in water.


At the kayak park under the 24th Street viaduct, the water was raging. Here is a video:


Camping at Buenaventura Park will be a muddy experience for quite a while. 



A trip down 21st Street in Ogden reveals that some businesses have been affected.


Let's hope the weather cooperates and we can get water levels to recede.  It looks like more is rain coming soon though.
