The annual monsoon season in North America brought an hour-long rainfall at Zion National Park in southwestern Utah, Tuesday afternoon, causing flash flood in the area.
Monsoon thunderstorms brought an episode of heavy rain within a week across the Desert Southwest, forcing roads and state route 9 to be closed until further notice due to mudflows. According to a statement from the National Park officials, there were fortunately no injured or missing persons reported from the conducted technical search and rescue operation.
At this time, though not closed, the national park operation was modified due to the flooding, and possibly more of it to come according to weather forecasts.
