Salome Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

November 28, 2019 - Flash Flood

A powerful Pacific low pressure system developing over the desert southwest interacted with deep moisture to produce widespread rain across the central and east portions of La Paz County during the early morning hours on November 29th. Isolated thunderstorms were embedded within the areas of rain, locally enhancing rain totals. The heavy rain led to some flash flooding that impacted areas around the community of Salome. According to the La Paz County Sheriff's Office, flash flooding caused the road to be washed away at Avenue B in Salome. Estimated time of the flooding was about 0120MST; the time of the impact was based on data from a Maricopa County Flood Control gage that crested at 3.86 feet at 0158MST. Flooding was estimated based on when the action stage was reached at which point there was potential for channel breakouts to begin along Centennial Wash.
