Summary:
The National Weather Service is warning that heavy rains are expected to cause flooding on Havasu Creek and flood campsites and foot bridges. This time of year there can be hundreds of campers in the campgrounds in the scenic canyon on the Havasu Reservation just south of the Grand Canyon. In 2006, flash floods forced ~400 campers to flee to high ground in the middle of the night.Content analysis:
