Surge of floodwater crashes through Utah family's home

July 2024 · 1 minute read

Utah was pummeled by an intense two-day monsoon event, bringing flooding, hail, and destructive winds that caught many residents off guard.

From snowplows clearing hail on I-15 to neighbors battling rising floodwaters together, the storm's impact was both devastating and unifying.

One Orem family experienced a severe flood after a surge of water crashed through their basement window.

The incident came during Wednesday's hailstorm in Utah County, and just weeks after they had refinished the basement area following a sewer issue.

A family member of the homeowner has set up a GoFundMe to help raise funds to get the family back on their feet.
