LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP)–Storms forecast for Monday could trigger new flash floods in the Grand Canyon, the National Weather Service said as crews looked for around 15 people missing in a flood that claimed at least one life.
The floods hit the Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch area on Saturday, forcing dozens of people to evacuate and damaging the sole water pipeline serving the park, one of the most popular national parks in the United States.
The body of a 46-year-old man was recovered on Sunday evening near Crystal Rapids along the Colorado River in northern Arizona, the park service said.
