Texas chiropractor is among dead from Grand Canyon flood, 2 fellow hikers are missing, family says
Search crews continued looking for two missing hikers as officials said the flood damaged the canyon’s main water pipeline and forced evacuations.
- A flash flood in Grand Canyon National Park killed a Texas chiropractor on Saturday, with searchers continuing to look for missing hikers Brent Rosenkranz and Timothy Smith as heavy rains shroud the canyon walls.
- Intense monsoon rains worsened by a strong El Nino triggered the flooding. Climate scientist Daniel Swain found that short-term intense downpours in the West have become 10% stronger since 2000, intensifying hazards for canyon visitors.
- Saturday's flash flood severely damaged the only water pipeline serving roughly 1,600 residents of Grand Canyon Village. The damage disrupted a $208 million modernization project, prompting officials to issue emergency water restrictions and bar tourists from lodges.
- Searchers recovered two bodies near the Colorado River as the state Department of Emergency and Military Affairs coordinated recovery efforts. Officials urged anyone in the park during the flood to contact rangers immediately.
- Forecasters warned that more flooding could happen Monday or whenever storms emerge during 'monsoon season.' The Grand Canyon hosts 4.4 million visitors annually, making ongoing hazards a significant concern as unstable conditions persist.
