I live out in Kearns, 5400 South and 5600 West area. A few years ago it had rained so hard one day and I left just after it finished to go to the store. I was heading down 5400 South towards Bangerter. Just as I passed 4800 West (under the train tracks) there was a manhole cover in the middle of the road and water was bubbling up out of the storm drain pipe about 2-3 feet high. It was crazy, but nothing like this.

Number one, that was the biggest manhole cover I've ever seen.
Number two, what the hell would cause something like that?
Seriously, that looked like several thousand gallons per second.

I think it ended up tearing a circle of cement or asphalt. I don't think that entire circle is a manhole cover.

In the floods of 83 or 84, whenever it was, they say the manhole covers shot 40+ feet into the air and water spewed out of them, but I doubt it was anywhere near that magnitude :ugh:

Wow is wright! I think it must be a storm drain that drains into the ocean. Yoy can see flashes on the screan that look like lightening, then the pulsing and volume of the water all kind of add up.:eek:
