Flooding forces thousands from homes across Arizona, Southwest

Heavy rain across much of the desert southwest is causing creeks and rivers to overflow, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. Cody Matts joins us now with a closer look at the damage and really how volunteers are trying to help. But this is this is pretty dire. It's brutal is they saw a huge flooding event a couple weeks ago, now saturated soils. And it's just it's just kind of madness at this point as they're getting two waves of rain from Friday through last night, falling on already saturated soils, leading to some big time flooding and Now, warnings posted in parts of Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico are all with a lot of urgency with evacuations taking place in some well-known tourist spots. Now, that includes Sedona, Arizona. These are some of the floodwaters from yesterday. The fast-rising water forcing thousands to flee their homes with dozens of road closures. Some residents didn't get out fast enough and were trapped in their homes with crews from surrounding areas called in to help with rescue efforts. Farther to the north from here in Flagstaff, the streets turn into muddy rivers. While in Utah, one neighborhood was hit twice by floods over the last couple of weeks. Volunteers were there to help almost all of Arizona, along with parts of southern Utah. Southwest Colorado and northern New Mexico are under flood warnings or flash flood warnings still at this hour. Much of the area getting two to six inches of rain over the weekend, finishing off one of the wettest September and October combos on record. We're going to see much more video and have more of this flooding coming up a little bit later. Meanwhile, this storm is now in the upper Midwest and going to bring us plenty of rain over the next three days. Keith, we'll have more on that coming up.
