Two people are confirmed dead, and one is still missing after a flash flood ripped through the Grand Canyon in Arizona on Sunday.
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 over the weekend.
The flash flood tore through Bright Angel Canyon and the Phantom Ranch area.
“Floodwaters knocked out the Transcanyon Waterline, the critical pipeline supplying water to the park, triggering strict water restrictions and shutting down overnight lodging,” Fox News reported.

On Tuesday, it was reported that a Texas chiropractor was among one of the flash flood victims.
At least one person is still missing.
ABC News reported:
Two people are dead and one person remains missing following deadly flash flooding at the Grand Canyon over the weekend, as rescuers brace for more treacherous weather, authorities said.
The current missing-person count is based on permits issued by the park, park officials said, while acknowledging that additional day hikers who did not have permits could also be missing.
Authorities said hundreds of tips have been received but, so far, there is no reason to believe anyone besides the one person already being sought is missing.
A Border Patrol technical search team will search for the remaining missing person. Authorities said they will also use Bluetooth technology and a drone to search the damaged area.
The National Park Service confirmed that two people have been killed in the deadly flash flooding.
