KEY TAKEAWAYS

Heavy rainfall in Provo caused a mudslide Wednesday night impacting Nevada Avenue and Slate Canyon.

Crews and over 200 volunteers have removed 960 truckloads of debris so far.

Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi praised the volunteer effort amid the significant weather event.

PROVO — Wednesday's rainfall brought much-needed moisture to some parts of the Beehive State, but it also caused a mudslide that spilled onto Nevada Avenue and Slate Canyon Drive in Provo.

A thunderstorm on Wednesday night triggered the mudslide off what seems to be the Buckley Draw Fire burn scar in South Provo, KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson said in a social media post.

The slide nearly buried a car and began piling up on the side of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
