  "summary": "A flash flood at the Grand Canyon has left one person dead, a 46-year-old man, and around 15 others missing or unaccounted for. According to The Guardian US, the flood also destroyed the only water pipeline for tourists and residents, leading to emergency water restrictions.\n\nThe flood occurred on Saturday, August 29, and prompted a large-scale evacuation effort. By Sunday morning, 62 people had been air-evacuated from the area, with further evacuations taking place throughout the day, as reported by the Toronto Sun and ABC News (US).\n\nThe National Park Service is asking for information from anyone who knows of hikers or backpackers in the affected area. More rain and thunderstorms are forecast for the area, according to CNBC.",
