  "summary": "A flash flood hit Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona on Saturday afternoon, causing evacuations, damage, and potentially leaving people missing. The flood occurred in the Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area, with rainfall on the Kaibab Plateau causing the flash flood at about 2:30 pm. According to the National Park Service, more than 60 people were evacuated from the depths of the canyon.\n\nThe body of a 46-year-old man was recovered on Sunday evening near Crystal Rapids along the Colorado River. The park service reported that about 15 people are missing or unaccounted for. The flash flood destroyed nearly all footbridges over Bright Angel Creek and swept boulders and debris into the Colorado River. The flooding also damaged the park's sole water pipeline, prompting water restrictions.\n\nSome overnight accommodations within Grand Canyon National Park will be affected, with tourists unable to stay overnight at lodges and hotels starting Monday due to the water restrictions. The park will remain open for day use, but more thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected into Monday, possibly leading to additional flash flooding and debris flows.",
