ST. GEORGE — What the National Weather Service described as a “severe thunderstorm” brought lightning, high winds, heavy rain and hail to much of Southern Utah Monday.

City streets and slot canyons also received a fair share of flooding as rains poured inches of water onto the red rock landscape in a matter of hours.

St. George News asked the Southern Utah community to submit photos of the storm and its aftermath, which can be viewed in the gallery below.
