US · Published Nov 2, 2026
• Heavy rainfall across Arizona on Sunday, November 1, 2026, caused significant flash flooding, rockfalls, and widespread highway closures.
• The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported closures on several major routes, including State Route 89A between Sedona and Kachina Village, State Route 73 between Indian Pine and Whiteriver, and State Route 238 between Maricopa and Gila Bend.

Impact & Risks

The flooding has disrupted travel across Arizona, with major highways and local roads closed, particularly in northern and central regions. Evacuations in Sedona and White Mountain Apache tribal lands highlight the severity of the situation. Rockfalls pose additional risks to drivers, and ADOT crews are working to clear debris. Travelers should expect delays and detours, especially in areas affected by highway closures. The ongoing closures could impact emergency response times and access to essential services in affected areas.
