TUCSON, Ariz. - Storms dumped up to 4 inches of rain Tuesday across southern Arizona, flooding washes and waterways and forcing evacuations of some 46 people in the Tucson area, including a mother and two children rescued by a helicopter.

Several flights were delayed and one was canceled from Tucson International Airport, and the rains forced closure of five roads in Tucson and more than two dozen in Pima County.

The severity of the storm, on the heels of another Aug. 14, caused Pima County Supervisors’ chairwoman Sharon Bronson to declare a state of emergency. Doing so enables the county to seek aid from the state for infrastructure losses, already near $500,000 from the earlier storm.

Peace
