Carbon County emergency personnel have some help in trying to hold back flood waters. There are two 23-man National Guard teams in South Central Wyoming setting up sandbags along rivers and streams. One team is in Baggs and the other is in Saratoga. In addition, a 40-man inmate team from Newcastle and an 18 man inmate team from Riverton are helping out. Two 5-man inmate crews from the Carbon County Jail have been sandbagging in Medicine Bow. By next week, forecasters expect rivers and streams to reach levels not seen since 2008, with higher levels to come later.
