The Flood of 1983 Salt Lake City Utah! A River Flowing Downtown! State Street became a river!

Apparently Alta has more snow right now then they had in 1983. Alta has broken all records and has received almost 45 feet this season. Breaking all records

I worked downtown when this happened. Walked across a temporary bridge on State Street for about 2 months. 😂

Cool photos, never knew about that

[@paperchasin104]

I’m scared right now

Why do I remember "Camera Den" ?

[@valerieheath-harrison9955]

Camera Den used to be next to the Federal Building in an old, cracked-wall building about 150 South State. I remember it fondly!

Because of the rain

[@ascotter]

I'm sorry that you are scared. It doesn't rain much anymore. I hope you can be less scared. I personally wish we had more rain

[@snowrida1]

It’s not because of the rain. It’s because of the runoff due to the heavy snowfall and sudden rising temperatures caused by the 1983 El Niño
