MORGAN — If the East Canyon, Lost Creek, Echo or Rockport dams above Morgan Valley ruptured, students in the city below would have 25 minutes to get away from the approaching flood, said Ken Adams, Morgan County Schools superintendent.
That grim scenario prompted Morgan County schools to hold an emergency evacuation drill Wednesday for about 1,800 students. The shoulder-to-shoulder procession of Morgan preschool, elementary, middle and high school students wound its way up 100 South until the crowd reached Wilkinson Construction Company, 1200 E. 100 South, at the top of the hill.
