Floods in Murray Park

I think it was the first summer we moved to Murray, 2004 that I remember walking the park one day and noticing that water was getting really high. Soon enough the water was so high that it covered the walkway on the bridges. I thought wow that is a lot of water for the river. My mind has changed now since the small flood in Murray park at the first of June. I had been at the park the Thursday before it flooded and I saw how fast it was going and saw how much snow was still in the mountain and I immediately thought of the time when it covered the bridges. I had a feeling that it might happen again but had no idea it would be this much.

You can't tell in the picture but one of the benches that is by the river is mostly covered.

Here is a bridge by the Murray Pool.

This is parking lot by the outdoor Murray Pool.

This is the part by Parkside Elementary. Part of field at Parkside was flooded as well. Sunday night Brent received an email from our Stake President letting him know that people in the community were going to start sandbagging because their were homes at risk. So Brent went out as soon as could. I know that a lot of people showed up to help out. Brent did not get home until 2 a.m. I know that they got a lot done and helped out a lot of people. This little event made me think about what a great community we live. Even though their are wars going on, and people fighting wickedness all over the world, the one thing that I realized is that if someone or something was in trouble it is good to know that people will come together and help out.
