Torrential rain from the remnants of a Pacific Ocean hurricane swamped the Desert Southwest Monday, with Phoenix and Tucson seeing some of the worst flooding.
In Phoenix, the rain turned freeways into lakes and forced the closure of highways, streets and schools throughout the region. In Tucson, one woman died after her car was swept away by heavy floods and became trapped against a bridge.
Monday was the rainiest single day in the history of Phoenix, where weather records go back to 1895.
