The Flagstaff area experienced multiple storms this week that resulted in serious flash flooding, particularly in the wildfire burn scars.
Monsoon floodwaters gushed near Highway 89, just north of Flagstaff, as flash flooding remained a threat on Friday, July 15, the National Weather Service said.The Arizona National Guard has been authorized to deploy to Coconino County to help with flood mitigation.
After the heavy rains resulted in flash flooding that damaged structures and forced temporary road closures, Coconino County asked for help with flood mitigation in the Schultz/Pipeline flood area from the state Department of Emergency and Military Affairs. There are already operations to fill sandbags underway with prisoner crews in both Kingman and Winslow. The United Way of Northern Arizona is looking for volunteers to help fill sandbags to meet an estimated need of 80,000 total bags for flood mitigation.
Just after 6 p.m., as storms continued to move through the area, the City of Flagstaff issued a shelter in place order surrounding the Museum Fire Flood Area, which includes Mt. Elden Estates, Paradise, Grandview and Sunnyside.
