Flash flooding inundated Tucson, Arizona, and the surrounding area. The National Weather service issued flash flood warnings and a small stream flood advisory for Pima County and the immediate area.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department reported multiple swift-water rescues and monsoon-related road closures in the area, warning motorists that road conditions can change rapidly.

"Oh, my God, we're floating"

Take a look at video taken by local resident Barbi Reuter, who was stopped at a light on Fort Lowell Road when she and the other occupants of the vehicle noticed they were starting to float in the floodwater. “We can’t stay in this puddle, we’ll float away,” Reuter says in this video.
