Zion Natl Park – Sunday September 21, 2014

We had rain yesterday afternoon and most of the night.  A lot of people came back to the campground wet.  The park has had a lot of rain over the last 3 weeks.  The rain storm from hurricane Norbert brought the 7th highest quantity of rain to Zion in a 24 hour period in the 86 years they have been keeping track of rain fall. The Virgin River went from 40 cfs (cubic feet per second) to 2500 cfs.  The storm in 2010 which wash out some of the road peaked at 8000 cfs and was one of the largest volumes since the 1960’s.

The rain stopped at about 9:00 a.m. and it has been is nice all day.  I did get to follow the Seahawk’s game on NFL game center.
