Mandatory Evacuations Issued in Colorado and Arizona Amid Historic Flood Threats
Heavy rainfall has prompted mandatory evacuation orders in Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County, Colorado, as the San Juan River is forecast to rise near or above historic levels, potentially reaching up to 19 feet. Officials warn of extensive flooding risks and urge residents and visitors, including those near hot springs, to evacuate promptly. Similar flash flood warnings and evacuations have been issued in Arizona's Sedona and Camp Verde due to rapidly rising waters in local creeks and rivers, with meteorologists noting unusually high rainfall over a short period.
