SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Heavy rain caused flooding in the Phoenix area Thursday, turning normally dry riverbeds into raging rivers and trapping motorists.
Firefighters waded into the Indian Bend Wash to help two people out of two cars and walk them out of the swift knee-deep water.
The Scottsdale portion of the wash runs for eight miles and was built in the 1970s as a flood-control measure, said city spokesman Mike Phillips.
