Two dead and at least 15 missing after flash flood in Arizona’s Grand Canyon

National Park Service confirms second death from weekend flash flood as area braces for more storms

A second death was confirmed by National Park Service officials on Monday after aflash flood sent a surge of water and debris through an area of the Grand Canyon over the weekend.

Dozens of visitors had to be evacuated by helicopter during the deluge that consumed trails and infrastructure. Fifteen people are still missing or unaccounted for, as more heavy rain and thunderstorms in the forecasts threaten additional debris flows, flash floods or rockfalls, the NPS said in a statement.
