Grand Canyon Floods Leave Tragedy and Crisis | Colorado Springs News

Flash floods tore through the Grand Canyon this weekend, sweeping away lives, damaging critical infrastructure, and forcing evacuations as monsoon rains fueled by a powerful El Nino surge turned the canyon into a deadly torrent. Two bodies have been recovered, dozens rescued by helicopter, and many still missing. The main water pipeline—crucial for tourists and year-round residents—is destroyed, triggering emergency water rationing. The disaster hit an area still recovering from last year’s wildfire, where scorched earth and steep terrain amplified the flood’s fury. A major water upgrade project is now on hold, and officials warn more rain could bring more devastation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
