Heavy rainfall produced severe flash flooding and forced mandatory evacuations across a wide swath of the American Southwest on Sunday.
Nonstop downpours deluged Flagstaff, Arizona, overwhelming storm drains, submerging local roads, and prompting highway closures throughout the region. Emergency crews rushed to execute water rescues as rapidly rising floodwaters trapped residents in their homes.
With weather services issuing urgent flash flood warnings, officials ordered immediate evacuations for high-risk communities while emergency response teams worked around the clock to clear debris, relocate affected families, and manage widespread runoff dangers sweeping across the region.
