What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Grand Canyon experienced a deadly flash flood on August 29 that damaged bridges and closed numerous trails. Less than a month later, a second storm moved through Bright Angel Canyon on September 16, reportedly washing away temporary housing units for construction crews. The National Park Service stated that all employees were safely evacuated before the storms hit, and no injuries were reported during the September 16 event.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The severe weather events occurred while the park was undergoing recovery from the August 29 flood, which damaged temporary water infrastructure being constructed to restore service following issues with the Transcanyon Waterline. The Grand Canyon remains partially closed to public access while recovery efforts continue.
