They were happy because the storm would relieve the drought in this area. The sound of the rushing water alarmed the family, and they hurriedly waded to a nearby it safely hillside, reaching about three minutes before the stream of water began whirling their home. This was about 3 p.m. Friday. Sowers Creek, usually a small stream, was fed by water from both Sowers Canyon and Wire Fence Canyon, which met near the Foy home and formed a high wall of swift water. The house was whirled four times around in the swirling waters and was totally destroyed. It was washed about 400 yards down the stream before it collapsed. The Foys took refuge in an abandoned mine shaft nearby and built a fire to dry their clothing. They had managed to save the pick-utruck that was parked near the corrals, and were able to return to their town home in Duchesne about 11 oclock that evening. In the 45 years that the home had been situated near Sowers Creek, this marked the first sign of danger to it, Mr. Foy said. They plan to rebuild their ranch home farther from the stream and on higher ground. None of their loss was covered by insurance.
