Two people died and 14 remained missing after a sudden flood struck Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona during the weekend.
Authorities evacuated 62 people from the area by helicopter and continued rescue operations in hopes of finding those still missing. The flood began suddenly on Saturday afternoon after storms moved across the mountainous terrain.
David Gregory, one of those evacuated, told CBS News: “If we had fallen in, or if the water had taken us, I think it would have been the end.” The account said storms of this kind can arrive without warning, making flooding in the canyon difficult to predict.
If we had fallen in, or if the water had taken us, I think it would have been the end.
