Debris Flow


On my way to Ogden the other day, I noticed where a debris flow from one of our burned areas had crossed the freeway.  On the way back, I stopped to look.  Just north of the first Holden exit, a cloud-burst in the headwaters of Ebbs Canyon had sent a muddy flash flood, full of downed logs, into the northbound lane of I-15.  I-freaking-15.  The speed limit at that location is 90 MPH (well, it says 80 on the sign).  When you get in your car in San Berdue headed for Yellowstone, do you expect to be slaloming through uprooted pinyon pines at 90 MPH in central Utah?  Isn't the natural world amazing?
