Cloudburst in Battle Creek Canyon
A Wednesday evening storm centered around Bald Mountain and Battle Creek Canyon caused torrents of rain and a flood that turned Battle Creek into a rushing river. Boulders broke canals and bridges, swept water into the power plant, and forced use of Blue Creek water while repairs were made. Dr. Graa was swept across a stream over thirty feet wide in crossing. The water system injury was described as trivial.
