"These types of intense, local rain events happen each summer, but often in unpopulated areas," said Michael Crimmins, climate science extension specialist for Arizona Cooperative Extension. "The impacts are quite large when they occur in populated areas like Flagstaff."
Flagstaff been preparing for flash flooding events since the Museum fire north of the city in 2019 left a large burn scar. In the following monsoon seasons, there was little rainfall, creating flash flooding problems in the area.
