Storyful

Water gushed though a local restaurant in Moab, eastern Utah, on Saturday, August 21, after heavy rain triggered flash flooding in the region.

On Saturday, the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the area and urged locals to refrain from walking or driving through flooded areas.

This footage, captured by local Scott Griffiths, shows tables and chairs submerged in brown floodwaters at Dewey’s Dewey’s Restaurant and Bar in Moab on Saturday evening.

“This is crazy,” Griffiths said in the footage, and told Storyful the restaurant is a “a popular place here.” Credit: Scott Griffiths via Storyful
