15 people go missing in Grand Canyon flash flood
A devastating flash flood at the Grand Canyon has left at least 15 people missing, prompting officials to halt overnight stays at lodges and hotels. The National Park Service reported that the flooding swept away boulders, metal structures, and other debris into the Colorado River, causing significant damage to the park's water infrastructure.
The park's sole water pipeline was knocked out, forcing officials to halt recreational activities and work on restoring water supply. The park is asking residents and visitors to conserve water as they assess the damage and work to restore water resources. More than 60 people were evacuated from Phantom Ranch, a popular stop for rafters on the river.
