Grand Canyon braces for more storms after deadly flash flood, about 15 people still missing
More rain and thunderstorms are expected at the Grand Canyon on Monday, following a major flash flood that claimed one life and left around 15 people missing or unaccounted for. Scores of visitors were evacuated, and the only water pipeline for tourists and residents was destroyed. Emergency water restrictions began on Monday, preventing overnight stays at lodges and hotels within the park.
A flood watch was in effect, and the National Weather Service predicted an elevated risk of flash flooding through Monday due to deep monsoonal moisture and already saturated soils. The body of a 46-year-old man was recovered near Crystal Rapids along the Colorado River on Sunday, while a flood earlier in the week forced the evacuation of over 60 people from Bright Angel Creek.
