New Rains Flood GlobeMiami Again as US 60 Closes, Curfew Imposed

Residents still rebuilding after last month’s deadly flood confronted renewed warnings, a curfew, US 60 closures, a water-use advisory.

Overview

  • Rainfall from Hurricane Priscilla triggered flash flooding Sunday across Globe, Miami, Claypool and nearby Gila County communities.
  • City alerts urged people to shelter in place and move to higher ground, with a dusk-to-dawn curfew in effect through Tuesday that officials said could lift early if conditions allow.
  • U.S. 60 closed in both directions between Superior and Miami due to flooding, with eastbound traffic detoured to State Route 177 and no estimated reopening time.
  • Downtown Globe saw fast-moving water through midday before conditions began drying by midafternoon, leaving mud along Broad Street.
  • The Gila County Disaster Assistance Center closed early because of flooding, and a 12-inch water line break led Globe to issue a conservation notice and prepare bottled water for residents.
