Viewing Album:  The Boyer's Flooding
 
By:Rick C
Dates:5/5/2007 - 5/6/2007
Album Info:Recent heavy rains have caused the Boyer River to break its banks and flood parts of my area. At one point on the night of the 5th water did apparently cross the tracks just outside Logan. This caused a backup as crews checked to ensure that the rails were safe.
