Utah communities hit hard by flooding as more rain soaks Southwest

The city of Hurricane declared a state of emergency after reddish-brown floodwater lapped into and around 80 homes in a neighborhood. Utah communities have been hit hard by flooding in the Four Corners region, with flooding that has affected dozens of homes in Utah and led to evacuations in Colorado. The city of Hurricane in Utah declared a state of emergency after reddish-brown floodwater flooded 80 homes in a neighborhood and 50 recreational vehicles in an RV park. The rising waters prompted mandatory evacuations along four rivers including the San Juan River through Pagosa Springs. The flooding was not unexpected due to two months of heavy rain that ended a summer of drought. This fall has been unusually soggy in the Southwest, with El Niño conditions causing flooding. The Arizona tornadoes reportedly injured at least one person.
