Mayor Maile Wilson-Edwards
Apartments near Southern Utah University, as well as other nearby residences and businesses, flooded Monday because of heavy rain. Around 200 students were displaced.
Cedar City was hit Monday by what local leaders are calling a “once every 500-years” flood. Within an hour, nearly two inches of rain fell leaving businesses and homes damaged.
Rodrick Ward moved into his apartment Monday ahead of his senior year at Southern Utah University. He plays football and was living
on the lowest level of an apartment building near campus.
His family was there helping him earlier in the day. After they stocked his fridge and got his furniture in place, his father, Rodrick Ward Sr., said they started driving home to California. An hour and a half into their trip, Ward Sr. said he got a call from his son.
