New storms threaten Grand Canyon flood search, 2 bodies recovered
Forecast storms in the Grand Canyon on Monday threatened efforts to find more than a dozen people missing after flash floods over the weekend, the National Park Service (NPS) said, with two bodies already recovered.
Flash floods in Grand Canyon National Park have led to two deaths, with around 15 people still missing, and 62 evacuated. Severe weather is expected to complicate search efforts. The iconic U.S. park's Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area were hit over the weekend, causing damage to the sole water pipeline and destroying infrastructure. Visitors are warned to exercise caution from July to mid-September due to the region's vulnerability to flash floods.
