We've had an avalanche at MM 12 on SR-189 in Provo Cyn. The canyon is currently closed. Reports are that it is 10'-15' deep in some spots on the roadway. It is covering all the lanes. No persons or vehicles were caught in the avalanche. Cleanup will take hours.

Troopers are getting reports of a rock slide on SR-92 at MM 26. Unrelated to the avalanche, but there are several hundred pound boulders blocking the road. Heavy rain is causing some serious issues in our canyons right now.
