Dam disaster floods Virgin River valley in Arizona
A 86 foot dam on the Virgin River near Littlefield, Arizona, burst after torrential rains, sending a three-foot flood through nearby farms and a vineyard, washing away livestock and destroying the vineyard. The flood raced to Mesquite, submerging the bridge by nine inches and leaving rural areas buried in silt with widespread damage and unknown ranch losses.
