The wild west turning
into the waterlogged west after torrential rains drown out
the four corners region of Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico.
The rain is mostly gone, but floodwaters remain after massive
downpours overwhelmed what's typically a very dry and arid landscape.
An Arizona man recalls the rush to evacuate once
the nearby river started to rise.
Less than a minute went from my ankle to about my knee,
and I knew I had to get out of there.
He was able to move to high ground
and make it through safely with his family.
Some of his neighbors were not so lucky.
It's devastating. People lost their homes. I know the one lady.
She doesn't even know where her camper is. They went down the river.
First responders wading through chest-high floodwaters to reach people
who were stranded in Arizona.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says they rescued
at least 60 people this weekend alone.
Even for those whose homes are still standing,
there's a huge mess to deal with.
This Colorado community busting out shovels
and getting to work to clear out the massive amounts of mud and debris.
We've got a community effort, and we're trying to get it
to a point where it can at least dry and make it start to recover.
Are you looking forward to a shower after this?
Pretty much. Maybe a hot tub.
Meteorologists say El Nino is disrupting weather patterns
and fueling the severe storms.
