The flooding as Zion National Park is among flooding across several states over the weekend as storms hit the US Southwest.
The Associated Press SPRINGDALE, Utah — Authorities have been searching for days for a Tucson woman reported missing after being swept away by floodwaters in Utah’s Zion National Park as strong seasonal rain storms hit parts of the U.S. Southwest.
All of the hikers except Agnihotri were found on high ground and were stranded until water levels receded. Elsewhere in Utah, flooding in Moab, the gateway to Arches National Park, on Saturday night closed trails in the city on Sunday as crews assessed the damage. A video posted on the city’s Twitter account showed a creek gushing under a downtown bridge.
Authorities said several rivers and streams in New Mexico have nearly reached historic flood levels not seen since the 1960s due to recent heavy rainfall.
