Flash floods strand 1,000 people in Death Valley National Park
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — Flash flooding at Death Valley National Park triggered by heavy rainfall on Friday buried cars, forced officials to close all roads in and out the park and stranded about 1,000 people, officials said
It was the second major flooding event at the park this week. Some roads were closed Monday after they were inundated with mud and debris from flash floods that also hit western Nevada and northern Arizona hard. "I've never seen it to the point where entire trees and boulders were washing down. The noise from some of the rocks coming down the mountain was just incredible," he said in a phone interview Friday afternoon.
"There were at least two dozen cars that got smashed and stuck in there," he said, adding that he didn't see anyone injured"or any high water rescues."
