Grand Canyon Flash Flood Crisis | Spokane News

A major flash flood hit the Grand Canyon Saturday afternoon, leaving over 20 people unaccounted for and forcing the evacuation of 62 via helicopter. Key areas like Bright Angel Creek, North Kaibab Trail, and Phantom Ranch are shut down indefinitely—with no reopening date in sight. The Colorado River is also off-limits due to debris. Thankfully, no injuries were reported among evacuees, but worsening weather with more thunderstorms Sunday and Monday raises fears of further flooding and trail closures. Park officials urge everyone to stay away and remain patient as they assess the damage and prioritize safety. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
