Cedar City â After seeing streets filled as deep as a river, Dylan Folks, 18, is filling sandbags for his community in order to stay safe during this summerâs monsoon season. The National Weather Service forecasts more heavy rain Friday, after a massive storm Monday required a declaration of emergency for the city and for the rest of Iron County.
âIâm pretty sure there will be another storm on Friday,â Folks said. âEverybody has sandbags. I think we are pretty prepared now.â
Folks lives in a neighborhood that saw water as deep as three to nine feet, with some citizens here requiring evacuation to the Red Cross shelter near downtown.
