GRAND CANYON, AZ -- More than 400 people are being evacuated from the village of Supai Canyon after an earthen dam burst Sunday morning.
The Arizona National Guard and Department of Public Safety also airlifted about 75 campers and river runners out of the Grand Canyon due to the flooding.
According to a spokesperson for the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office, the Redlands Dam in the Grand Canyon broke at about 6 a.m.
Rain on Saturday night brought massive flooding to the area.
Officials said water from the dam quickly flowed downstream into Cataract Canyon and subsequently Supai Canyon.
The 400 residents affected are being evacuated to the Havasupai hilltop and then to Peach Springs where the Red Cross is said to have set up a shelter.
DPS officials said they were closing down Route 66 in the Hualapai area.
There's no word yet regarding the extent of flooding in the canyon, nor any indication of the damage possibly caused.
No injuries have been reported.
Officials with the Grand Canyon National Park are concerned because more rain is expected in the area today, which is expected to exacerbate the problem.

Some of the happiest days of my life were spent camping by the clean clear stream that runs through that canyon, and exploring the breathtaking waterfalls there. The Native Americans who live there were wonderful (if quirky) hosts. At least they are accustomed to periodic flooding in that canyon-oasis. They'll rebuild for sure. |
