The 2005 flood left an unparalleled amount of devastation in its wake, doing more than $200 million in damage.| Feb. 21, 2023, 1:00 p.m.Driving down River Road, Lonnie Clove can’t help but cast a wary eye on the snow-capped Pine Valley Mountains north of St. George that loom large in his vision and memory.
While a repeat of the 2005 flood seems unlikely, the robust snowpack in the mountains of southern Utah has the full attention of water experts and weather forecasters, who are keeping a close watch on the slopes and skies. Even then, a flood the magnitude of the one that swamped the St. George area is not a certainty or even likely. Water experts say a deep snowpack does not, by itself, precipitate a flood.
Brosten said it really is too early in the season to predict the likelihood of flooding this spring runoff season, which typically starts the first of April and runs through June. For his part, Merrill said the forecasts, while not foolproof, don’t seem to favor a repeat. Tuning in the noon newscast on KSL-TV at work the following day, Clove watched in disbelief as a helicopter flew over Gunlock Reservoir, where water was cascading in giant sheets over the dam.Virgin and Santa Clara rivers were soon raging at 20,000 and 6,500 cubic feet per second
