Arizona: stranded family rescued as flash floods inundate cities

In Tucson, a fire department swift water team rescued a father and his two daughters from the roof of their vehicle on Wednesday after they drove into a usually dry wash and got stranded in floodwaters, said Golder Ranch Fire District spokesman Capt Adam Jarrold. In Flagstaff, floodwaters have inundated communities in the shadow of a mountain that burned in 2019 and adjacent neighbourhoods, sending at least one vehicle floating down a city street.
