The National Weather Service is reporting the most significant river levels rising in northern Utah are the Bear River near Corinne and the Weber River near Ogden.

Ogden Fire Department’s swift water rescue team is ready at a moment’s notice. Firefighters are also training the police department to be ready to assist if need be.

“We’ve been waiting for this. We’ve been praying for this. Our hope is that the reservoirs fill up, that the Great Salt Lake comes up, and that water is not such a concern anymore,” said dogwalker John Cleveland. “At 3 miles per hour, nine to ten inches of water will knock a person off their feet,” said Miller. “At 4 to 5 miles per hour, if you’re in the water waist-deep, it will sweep you away, also.”
