Sept 10, 2009 Sedona
flooding causes wide devastation
SEDONA, AZ (September 10, 2009) - Heavy
monsoon rain and pea-sized hail in Sedona that began
at around lunchtime today caused wide
devastation and mud slides. At Tlaquepaque, heavy flooding lifted cars
and moved them, toppling some over walls, into
trees, and into
other cars and structures. First floor shops
at Tlaquepaque were reported to be flooded. A
30-plus year resident says she has never experienced
flooding in Sedona this devastating.
Metal dumpsters were also reported to have been floated by the floods. Below is a series of photos taken by and courtesy of Christopher Fox Graham.
Video and full story to follow.

#1 My Husband and I have visited the beautiful
town of Sedona, whilst visiting my aunt in Old
Cottonwood.
We have just seen the devastation of the recent
flooding, we would just like to say how sorry we
are for everybody who has had this awful
experience.
We live in England near the Coast and local flooding is something that often happens near to us and are aware of how traumatic it can be for everyone.
We hope that when all the hard work of clearing
the devistation everything will be alright
again.
Regards
Dawn and Jerry Houghton
#2 My son and I visited my sister and her family in Phoenix this past April and we drove up to the Grand Canyon and then to Sedona. I remember telling my sister that, while the Grand Canyon is a master piece and too awesome to describe in words or even in pictures, I would visit Sedona again before the Grand Canyon because of the beauty that surrounds you no matter where you drive there! I am so saddened to see the pictures of the devastation, and will pray for all affected by this. Colette DeLeo, North Carolina
