Emigration Creek Has Exceeded Flood Stage

That is the headline on the news tonight. In Sacrament Meeting yesterday the bishopric asked everyone to help fill sand bags in preparation for the rain and warm weather today. 




 We personally didn't need it, but a lot of other people did. 





The only thing that makes me worried is that our creek has no landscaping which means it erodes like crazy with any flooding. 
Our section of creek

This is for comparison purposes
The snow pack is worse than in 1983 if anyone is familiar. There is still about 3 feet of snow in our driveway and probably 5 or 6 on the hill. There is still a lot of water to come down.
