  "account": "More than 20 people may be missing following a flash flood in Grand Canyon National Park, according to the National Park Service. The floods struck Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area on Saturday, prompting the service to collaborate with Arizona authorities in efforts to evacuate individuals and locate those in the affected region. The park service urged the public to provide any information regarding the missing persons, as well as those who were hiking in the area at the time. The flash flood commenced around 2:30 pm on Saturday, and as of Sunday morning, 62 people had been evacuated, with additional evacuations planned. No injuries have been reported at this point. The service cautioned that additional thunderstorms and heavy rainfall are possible through Monday, potentially resulting in more flash flooding, debris flows, rockfall, and altered trail and river conditions.",
