He also noted that a few bridges were temporarily closed due to flood waters, along with numerous county roads suffering damage. Exact location and extent of damage was unknown. Allen Joe Begay of White Cone, Arizona was swept away in flood waters while in the Rio Puerco. |
| August 2010 | Flash Flood | Rehoboth | $120,000 | After the Church Rock bridge at Telstar Road collapsed July 31st, a temporary bridge was put in place. Just 2 days later, another bout of flash flooding resulted in the temporary bridge being washed out. A female flood victim had to be rescued the high waters in Church Rock. She sustained only minor injuries. Other vehicles were flooded out in Church Rock as well. In addition, mud as deep as 5 feet plagued Challenger Road again. Superman Canyon Road, Old Church Rock Coal Road, and Becenti Trail were also washed out for the 2nd time in as many days. |
| August 2013 | Flash Flood | Rehoboth | $50,000 | Flooding damaged residence and dining halls at Red Rock Care Center. The combination of heavy rain and hail created a water damming situation that resulted in roof leaks and eventual slight inundation of portions of the facility. |
