LIGHTNING Utah, Little Cottonwood Canyon

A violent storm swept through Salt Lake Valley on July 8, and lightning struck two climbers in Little Cottonwood Canyon near Alta, killing one and critically injuring the other. W inds gusted to 60 knots, and two and a half centimeters of rain fell in 20 minutes. (Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer, July 9, 1984)
