Flash Flood Tragedy in Tucson

A Tucson man’s tragic death in a flash flood in 2008 serves as a chilling warning: don’t risk your life for convenience. Roy Harris, a devoted high school sports official and Boston Celtics fan, was swept away while trying to reverse his car during rising waters near the Bronx Wash. His remains weren’t found until eight months later by two girls walking their dog — a heartbreaking delay that tested his family’s enduring love. His legacy lives on through the Roy Harris Most Improved Umpire Award and his gravestone shaped like a whistle, honoring his passion for sports. His sister, Teia, now urges everyone to heed the simple rule: when storms hit, stay put. Nothing is worth losing your life for. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
