SOUTHERN UTAH – Tropical moisture is bringing abundant showers and thunderstorms to Southern Utah Wednesday night. From flooding to lightning, Mother Nature is out on display.
The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch Wednesday that continues in effect until Thursday night. Keeping right in step with that notice, some flooding occurred in Enoch Wednesday evening, and Highway 91 was closed for a couple of hours due to the flooding, according to information from Iron County Emergency Services. The road is now open again.
As lightning lights up the sky and rain comes down, some of our readers are out braving the storm to capture the action on camera. Enjoy!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cami Cox Jim got her start in journalism way back in third grade, when she published a crayon-and-pencil classroom newspaper in Mrs. Gifford’s class. She’s been a professional journalist (the kind that gets paid) since 2005. Cami and her husband don’t have any “real” children yet, so for now Cami takes in stray animals, unofficially adopts other people’s kids and maintains high hopes for her own children (of the two-legged variety) to come along in the future.
