Grand Canyon Flood Forces Evacuations | Los Angeles News
Description
A wild flash flood tore through the Grand Canyon, hurling boulders and metal into the Colorado River and snapping the main water pipe—forcing overnight stays to end and urging everyone to conserve water. Over 60 people were evacuated from Phantom Ranch after a four-foot wall of debris nearly swallowed them, forcing a frantic scramble to cacti before helicopter rescue. No injuries, but the chaos was real: sudden waterfalls, mudslides, and closed trails including Bright Angel Campground and North Kaibab. Rafting trips are on hold as rain and storms loom, reminding us nature’s power can strike fast and furious—even in one of America’s most iconic spots.
