Grand Canyon flash floods: 2 dead, 1 still missing after monsoonal downpour
Heavy rain at Grand Canyon after flood kills 2, dozen missing
On Saturday, a monsoonal downpour caused devastating flash floods in the Grand Canyon, resulting in the deaths of two men and leaving one person unaccounted for. The powerful floodwaters swept away campgrounds in Bright Angel Canyon and around the historic Phantom Ranch, destroying 40 percent of the Transcanyon Waterline and damaging infrastructure.
Rangers managed to rescue 82 people over the weekend and are actively searching for the missing individual. Despite ongoing heavy rains hampering rescue efforts, the Grand Canyon remains open to visitors, but officials warn of sudden squalls.
