Water Gushes Over Arizona Dam Following Heavy Rain and Snowmelt

Water rushed over a dam at Big Chino Wash in Paulden, Arizona, following heavy rain and snowmelt in the state on March 22.

StormRunner Media told Storyful he recorded this video just north of the Chino Valley. He said the water currents were “violent” as they “ripped” through the wash, “easily overflowing the man-made dam.”

The National Weather Service issued watches and warnings of “flooding, winter weather, and wind,” and urged against driving on flooded roadways. Credit: StormRunner Media via Storyful
