Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeCopious amounts of tropical moisture spread north and into the south-central deserts during the morning hours on October 2nd; the moisture was associated with the remnants of former hurricane Rosa. The deep moisture led to widespread moderate to heavy showers which impacted the entire greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the entire day. Many locations picked up from 1 to 3 inches of rain mainly during the morning hours, and the intense rain resulted in numerous episodes of flash flooding which affected communities such as Guadalupe, Glendale, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Deer Valley, Sun City and downtown Phoenix. Much of the flash flooding involved road closures, but there were reports of swift water rescues as well. A sink hole was reported in the early afternoon at the intersection of 35th Avenue and Cactus Road northeast of Glendale, and local broadcast media reported that the Desert Horizon Elementary School was closed due to severe flooding at about 0800MST. The school is located near 83rd Avenue and Indian School Road. Multiple Flash Flood Warnings were issued during the day and fortunately few if any accidents or injuries were reported across the Phoenix area.
