The combination of runoff from recent snow melt, along with thunderstorms producing two inches of rain in less than two hours, caused flash flooding. Spring Creek rose about half a foot every 15 minutes, flooding several homes and businesses. Some roads were closed due to the high water, including Highway 63.
