More than 100 people were evacuated from hotels and residences near the Grand Canyon’s South Rim in Arizona Tuesday, while others were told to shelter in place due to flooding caused by heavy rains, authorities said.
Deputies were dispatched to the town of Tusayan in Coconino County, south of the southern entrance to the Grand Canyon, for reports of flooding due to heavy rainfall in the area at around 4 p.m. local time (7 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
Over 100 residents and hotel guests were “displaced” and relocated to wait out the flooding, and around 70 students from the Grand Canyon Unified School District also had to take shelter on school property but were later being “returned home,” the sheriff’s office said.
