From scenic enclave to deadly site
A severe flash flood struck the Grand Canyon, causing significant destruction on the canyon floor, including washouts of footbridges and campgrounds. At least two people died, and one remains missing after the flooding washed through areas like Bright Angel Creek and Phantom Ranch, prompting rescue efforts that evacuated over 80 individuals by helicopter. The flood was triggered by intense rainfall and lightning, with rescue operations hampered by ongoing heavy rain and environmental hazards. Authorities estimate miles of water supply infrastructure are damaged, leading to water restrictions at the park.
