Under water in Arizona

September 09, 2014 12:00 am • Last Updated: September 08, 2014 11:48 pm

Cars are stuck in floodwaters on I-10 east at 43rd Avenue after the remnants of Hurricane Norbert pounded the Phoenix area early Monday, flooding major freeways, prompting several water rescues and setting an all-time single-day record for rainfall in the desert city. At least two people died in the flooding, including a woman who was swept away in her car by rushing water and became trapped against a bridge.
