Intense storms fueled by a Pineapple Express system have caused significant flooding across Arizona and Colorado, prompting widespread evacuations and multiple road closures. Areas such as Sedona and Camp Verde are under evacuation orders as heavy rainfall has resulted in rising waters, particularly along Oak Creek, leading to the evacuation of at least 19 homes. Interstate 17 has reopened after earlier closures, but several other highways remain blocked due to flooding. In Colorado, heavy rain has similarly caused evacuations and dire warnings across the Southwest region. Emergency declarations have been made in cities like Prescott, reflecting the severe impact of the recent weather, which is expected to continue this weekend. The situation remains critical, with rescue operations underway and extensive infrastructure damage reported in both states.
