Witness Describes Deadly Arizona Flash Flood by Associated Press

TONTO NATIONAL FOREST (AP) — Adults, teens and children as young as 2 were enjoying a summer afternoon by cooling off in an Arizona creek when the gentle waters turned deadly.

The group from the Phoenix and Flagstaff areas had met Saturday for a day trip along a popular swimming hole near Payson, about 100 miles (160.9 kilometers) northeast of the capital. They set up lounge chairs not knowing an intense thunderstorm was dumping heavy rainfall just upstream in the Tonto National Forest.

The storm unleashed 6-foot-high floodwaters, dark with ash from a summer wildfire, onto the unsuspecting family and friends. The torrent carried away tree branches and other debris and left a wake of nine bodies.

Search and rescue crews, including 40 people on foot and others in a helicopter, recovered the bodies of five children and four adults, some as far as 2 miles down the river. Authorities did not identify them.

A 13-year-old boy from the same group was still missing Sunday.

Disa Alexander was hiking to the swimming area where Ellison Creek and East Verde River converge when the water suddenly surged.

Video she posted to social media showed torrents of water surging through jagged canyons carved in Arizona's signature red rock.

 

"I could have just died!" Alexander exclaimed on the video.

She spotted a man holding a baby and clinging to a tree. Nearby, his wife was also in a tree. A boy Alexander described as the couple's son was on the rocks above the water.

Had they been swept downstream, they would have been sent over a 20-foot waterfall, Alexander said.

Alexander and others tried to reach them but couldn't.

Check out pictures and somewhere is a drone video, please get me the link if you got it.

Len Johnson's first 2006 video Last of the Spanish Mustangs (23 min):

The 2016 followup video Wild Spanish Mustangs (40 min):

I've never seen the Cerbat herd (don't have 4 WD), but have seen pictures posted on Facebook.

It is so sad that these mustangs are almost extinct -- because it's more important to let the ranchers have all of what little feed there is for millions of cows.  The good news is that apparently the Cerbat ranchers, farmers and BLM leave this herd alone and maybe even support it.

Lots of info is at https://www.lenjohnson.org/

I'm going to have to watch the video again to get all the names of people and organizations supporting the Certbats:

Don't miss their videos. Since one can drive there, that will have to be an outing soon.

While one of the world's most beautiful places, the abuse of pack animals has been documented and exposed.  They just don't care about the bad publicity because they're always sold out?

Here is a video about fruit tree planting and you'll see many other videos about the Havasupai.

I want to support the tribe and obviously there's not shortage of visitors.

I just wish the Havasupai would stop condoning this cruel abuse of the pack animals!
