Monsoon Mayhem in Tucson | Tucson News

Monsoon madness is hitting Tucson hard—another close call this week when a driver was pulled from a flooded river near East Sahuarita Road, lucky to walk away unscathed. Authorities are urging everyone to stay off flooded roads, especially as severe thunderstorms and blowing dust advisories pile on. Just last week alone, three swift-water rescues occurred: a cyclist swept under a flooded bridge at Sabino Canyon, an off-duty trooper spotted someone stuck in Silverbell floodwaters, and another car trapped near Sandario needed rescue. These aren’t isolated incidents—water moves fast, and depth can be deceiving. Stay alert, check the forecast, and heed the “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” warning—it could save your life.
