| Title |
September 1970 flooding, by widespread cloudburst, of the San Juan River, seen here to occupy most of its floodplain. Bridge is only link to civilization for approximately 1,000 Navajo Indians. Note that only the left one-third of bridge has escaped attack by rising flood waters (other two-thirds appear muddy). Oblique aerial view. Most of Utah is subject to cloudburst flooding from April to September. Cloudbursts are of short duration and high intensity. |
