0:00Some Sedona evacuation orders are lifted, but mud and high water keep roads closed.
0:58Floodwater overwhelms Bear Wallow Pump Station, causing two sewage spills into Oak Creek.
1:29Transportation officials say possible foundation damage on State Route 89A may take days to assess.
2:29Camp Verde evacuations continue; officials warn that switching on appliances in flooded homes risks electrocution.
3:08Around a thousand residents remain evacuated on White Mountain Apache tribal land.
6:26Tempe rescue footage shows a helicopter airlifting a man after nearly 12 hours clinging to a tree.

"And the threats are not over, even though the rain has ended," meteorologist Erica Horvatin says in FOX 10 Phoenix's flood report. Across the affected communities, the dangers include sewage-contaminated water, potentially undermined pavement and electrical hazards inside flooded homes.

The report adds a new chapter to the evacuations we reported here: flooding overwhelmed Sedona's Bear Wallow Pump Station, sending sewage into Oak Creek. Pumper trucks intervened after an initial overflow, but rising water later submerged the facility and triggered another spill. Water-quality testing is planned once levels recede.

Some evacuation orders in Sedona have been lifted, but that does not mean the roads are ready. State Route 89A north of the city remains closed while transportation officials assess damage, including possible problems beneath the pavement. A road can appear intact from above while its foundation has been compromised.

In Camp Verde, Sergeant Rustin Richardson warns that residents returning home and trying to switch on appliances risk electrocution. The report also details continuing evacuations on White Mountain Apache tribal land.

The upload drew about 132,000 views in its first day, far beyond the station's usual audience for a regular video. Its coverage extends from damaged homes and infrastructure to a Tempe helicopter rescue: a man was airlifted after clinging to a tree for nearly 12 hours as fast-moving water surrounded him.
