'We're experiencing higher than normal flows right now because of weather that we've had,' said Ogden emergency manager and Battalion Chief Kenny Miller.
OGDEN — Ogden city officials are closely watching rivers in the area as waters rise and posed a safety threat to the public on Sunday."We're experiencing higher than normal flows right now because of weather that we've had," explained Ogden emergency manager and Battalion Chief Kenny Miller."Our river's running about 1,000 cubic feet per second, which is pretty fast," Miller said.
"If you are in the river in a kayak, you need to watch your head because you will be hitting the bridges," Miller said. "If we start getting more moisture and it starts heating up fast, then we'll get to flood stages pretty quick," Miller said."We recommend that everybody stays at least 15 feet away," Miller said."If there happens to be someone that does fall in, do not go in after them, call 911," Miller said.

Rebounding Pope Francis marks Palm Sunday in Vatican squarePope Francis has presided over his first ceremony in St. Peter's Square following a three-day hospitalization for bronchitis. The sun broke through the clouds during the Palm Sunday Mass, one of the longest services on the Church’s calendar. He took a chair under a canopy as scores of priests and thousands of rank-and-file faithful clutching palm fronds or olive branches filled the square. The pope's voice sounded strong at the start of the Mass but quickly turned hoarse. He later spent nearly 20 minutes circling the square in the popemobile. The 86-year-old pontiff was discharged from a Rome hospital on Saturday after receiving antibiotics intravenously. Palm Sunday opened his heavy schedule of Holy Week appointments.
