At least 20 hikers are missing after a flash flood ripped through the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
More than 60 people were evacuated from the Grand Canyon as heavy rains moved through the region.
Dozens of people had to be airlifted amid the sudden flash flooding.
“Monsoonal moisture will produce showers and thunderstorms with heavy rain over parts of the Southwest, Great Basin, and Central Rockies through Monday. Flash flooding is possible, especially in and around burn scars and in areas of steep terrain,” the National Weather Service said.
Full statement from the Grand Canyon National Park Service:
The National Park Service is asking the public to provide information for more than 20 individuals who may be missing or unaccounted for following a significant flash-flood event in Bright Angel Canyon and the Phantom Ranch area on August 29.
