"About 2.5 inches of rain fell in Globe, a city of about 7,250 people about 88 miles east of Phoenix, over 24 hours and another storm moved in Saturday, temporarily halting the search for people possibly missing in the flood because of high-flowing creeks. Streets flooded in the nearby mining town of Miami on Saturday, but no injuries were reported, Carl Melford, emergency manager in Gila County, said."
"Meanwhile, about 20 tourists stranded in parts of the Havasupai Reservation, including at scenic Havasu Falls, because of flooding were evacuated, Bureau of Indian Affairs dispatcher Shaileen Gonzales said. The remote reservation reachable only by foot, mule or helicopter lies deep in a gorge off the Grand Canyon. It's popular worldwide for its scenic, towering blue-green waterfalls but is prone to flooding."

Streets flooded in nearby Miami but caused no reported injuries. About 20 tourists stranded at Havasupai Reservation including Havasu Falls were evacuated.
