@azkc74: A dramatic helicopter rescue near Salome Highway in Tonopah, Arizona, shows just how quickly flash flooding can turn into a life-threatening emergency. The incredible rescue serves as another powerful reminder of just how dangerous Arizona's normally dry washes and desert roadways can become during heavy rainfall. What looks like a manageable stretch of water can quickly turn into a raging river capable of overturning vehicles and trapping drivers within seconds. Thankfully, the quick actions of firefighters and the sheriff's aviation crew prevented this frightening situation from becoming a tragedy. Remember, Turn Around, Don't Drown! No vehicle is worth risking your life or the lives of first responders. Arizona's flash floods are unforgiving, and this rescue is proof that Mother Nature deserves respect.
