Two dead and 15 missing after Grand Canyon floods
Heavy rains swept through the Grand Canyon area in the U.S. state of Arizona, causing flash floods over the weekend. The floods resulted in the death of a 46-year-old man and left about 15 people missing. The floods also caused widespread damage to infrastructure and forced rescue teams to evacuate 62 individuals so far. Authorities warned that rainfall is expected to continue, with the possibility of further floods, and confirmed that the situation could affect search operations. Additionally, the region's only water pipeline was damaged, leading to water usage restrictions and warnings not to light fires. Flash floods are common in northern Arizona due to the area's arid terrain and lack of dense vegetation that can help absorb rainwater.
