We have a report of 'serious' flooding in Miller Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains, causing 'substantial' damage to two homes. The area was burned in the Monument fire. Miller and Ash canyons were identified as having high potential for post-fire flooding and debris flows.

Rain gauges were installed by Arizona Dept. of Water Resources and the National Weather Service, to provide flood warnings to residents and emergency responders. [right, soil burn severity, Monument fire. Credit, InciWeb.com]
