This weekend, unrelenting rain is causing flash floods across the southwest. In New Mexico, surging water had stranded 150 tourists at Carlsbad National Parks. In Utah, rescue crews at Zion National Park are still searching for graduate student Jetal Agnihotri who was swept away in a current on Friday. Meanwhile, in the northeast, drought-like conditions are switching to severe storms and heavy rains. Delta Airlines is already issuing travel waivers due to the threat of severe weather.

Next on the menu: Planetary Hospice, Managed Retreat, American Human Habitat Loss . We are the Extinction Level Events. 🦖 ☄️
20 years of drought and now we got floods but I'll take the floods I'm sick of these parched years and we desperately need Lake Powell and Lake Mead to refill I hope we have record snowfall from October till May of next year
Hydrology major ? Didn't know such major existed, how to get hydrated, LOL. How many hydrologists r there in the USA ?
I hope everyone get home safely.
What happens to electric vehicles in the flood and rain? https://youtu.be/490qpnB4qCY
This year, climate change is affecting many more regions of the world! There are places where it hardly normally rains and end up with monster floods . Elsewhere droughts extend over a larger territory, last longer and cause forest fires difficult to control Lakes and rivers dry up to the point where there is almost nothing left. There are many casualties caused by these disasters and thousands of people have lost everything! The world changes and we must review our way of life now! We must think of the essentials and leave the superfluous and unnecessary luxuries on store shelves It may seem ridiculous to some, but overconsumption plays an important and harmful role in the environment and in our wallets! Soon in several regions of the world the human being will no longer be able to settle and it will only get worse with time! And with all it's politicians who seek only to wage war, the future looks very bleak! Don't have children! They don't deserve to have a life of misery!
It's so funny…. it's like we need more water…. yet not ready or prepared….. this only happens all the time!
Nice reporting. Thank you.
More drama Jesus christ
Oh the Irony, a Hydrology Major that doesn't know how to Swim in a Flash Flood, That is like triple Irony Corporate Media!
Let it rain
Always check the weather before traveling! It's not even safe to be driving in the rain 🌧or when it gets flooded. Sometimes weather is unpredictable but you can also check out other areas nearby to see if they're also having the same forecast.
That last part was shady and uncalled for
You go during monsoon season, you most likely die. Unexceptionable
I live in NM and we got dumped on this last weekend. We needed it greatly, thank God for the rain!
That’s horrible. I hope they get to safety fast 🤞
I hope they are able to rescue the grad student safely.
H A R R P……
WHY go underground in a cave during flash flood season???? Darwin awards…..
Extremely dry soil takes a while to start absorbing water. The pity of it all is that they would need a month of these rains to relieve the drought conditions.
THE IRONY OF AN HYDROLOGY MAJOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO SWIM. HOPEFULLY, THEY FIND HER
Coolcoolcool. Mother Earth is attacking and we're all gonna die.
INTERESTING..A HYDROLOGY MAJOR AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM ..!! DOES THIS MAKE SENSE..??? I HOPE SHE FOUND HIGHER GROUND..!! SENDING 🙏'S FOR HER SAFE RETURN AND FOR HER FAMILY TO STAY STRONG..!!
💕☮️🙏😢
Hope alls safe. but hopefully wildlife get a chance to drink
Hey NBC, just 5 days ago you ran a story about how the "drought emergency" in the Southwest was a "crisis" caused by climate change.
Now you're saying there's too much rain? Is climate change just responsible for every single weather event now?
2 hours ago there was a drought 🥴
Should have Learned to swim.
What the heck is happening to this planet?
This is nothing, wait till grand famine, total wars, ,global diseases, and more worldly natural disasters arrive as described in the ancient text. KARMA/GOD never failed to pay the effects done to others, it will boomerang back. No more babylon, no more romans, no more nazi soon.
A hydrology major and does not know how to swim. What kind of a horrible statement is THAT? Was that supposed to be morbidly funny? The girl is missing. The scientific study of the properties of water doesn't require submerging yourself in it.
Global warming if it rains global warming if it doesn't rain complain if it rains complain if it doesn't rain complain complain complain
Heh heh heh….
For all those who couldn't care less about those of us homeless due to confronting a corrupt system and calling out the criminals controlling it,
I wish you the same "help" you've given me….and ALL the children murdered by the perverts in power.
Reap mother effers.
. REAP.
😑
Those parks have signs all over about flash floods. You hike at your own risk. Take these stories as a warning and stay away.
