MOAB, Utah — On August 20, flooding ripped through downtown Moab, not only turning roads into rivers, but damaging businesses and homes.
Remember the flooding that ripped thru @CityofMoab on August 20th damaging businesses and some homes? Marsh was able to communicate quickly with everyone involved and the three people started moving through the water. He was helping a young woman navigate the water while a man and woman walked together to try and reach his BLM vehicle.
“I think in that emergency situation when you’re in danger, your body does extraordinary things,” said Marsh. “I don’t know how I popped up so quick, I don’t know how I didn’t get swept downstream more and potentially the girl as well.” Knight was able to call a friend who was assisting at the Spanish Trail Arena. He was able to be reconnected with his motel guests, retrieve all of their belongings and get them a room at another hotel for the night.
