Several dead after flooding in Arizona, including in a historic mining town

|September 29, 2025
Several people died after heavy rain caused flooding in Arizona, including three in a rural 19th century mining town where floodwaters forced people to seek safety on their rooftops and washed out a propane distributorship, scattering about 1,000 tanks downtown, authorities said Saturday.

About 2.5 inches of rain fell in Globe, a city of about 7,250 people about 88 miles east of Phoenix, over 24 hours and another storm moved in Saturday, temporarily halting the search for people possibly missing in the flood because of highflowing creeks.
Streets flooded in the nearby mining town of Miami on Saturday, but no injuries were reported, said Carl Melford, emergency manager in Gila County. Meanwhile, about 20 tourists stranded because of flooding in parts of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, including at scenic Havasu Falls, were evacuated, Bureau of Indian Affairs dispatcher Shaileen Gonzales said.
The remote reservation, reachable only by foot, mule or helicopter, lies deep in a gorge off the Grand Canyon. It's popular worldwide for its scenic, towering blue-green waterfalls but is prone to flooding.
