A damn burst in the Grand Canyon at 1 am this morning.
Sorry if this is a dupe I checked but not very hard. I guess it broke at 1 a.m. this a.m. and black hawks were being used to evacuate. So far no one injured that they are reporting.

2. Supai I guess and they've been hit pretty hard with rain for about 3 days straight.
The ground is pretty hard from the drought, so I guess it's not absorbing water very quickly.
