Sunny Skies Return To Alpine After Cloudburst
Alpine awoke to clear skies after one of the area’s worst flash floods. A cloudburst southwest of Alpine sent Alpine Creek roaring, bringing hail, debris, and damage to the library and several homes. The creek flooded bridges, flowed over 11th Street, and deposited mud and uprooted trees before receding by evening. Debris formed a dam near the 8th Street bridge as rainfall totals ranged up to 3 inches in nearby ranch areas.
