Thanks to a flash flood warning from National Weather Service, there was time to evacuate camping areas and prepare in other areas affected by flooding in the Dollar Ridge burn scar in Duchesne County on Saturday. While the area, including the Promised Land Resort, was hit hard, it was thankfully not as significant as the flooding from 2019.
