What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Heavy rain across northern Arizona caused rivers and creeks, including Oak Creek and the Verde River, to swell dramatically. Floodwaters closed roads in communities like Flagstaff and Sedona. The Rio de Flag swept through Flagstaff, and rising water levels in Oak Creek put nearby businesses at risk.
