## Transcript

Raging monsoon waters flooded parts of the Phoenix area on Sunday, [ SOUND ] leading firefighters to a series of dramatic rescues caught on camera. At least half a dozen people brought to safety. This is pretty bad. I mean the worst I have seen so far I've lived here for three years now. Emergency crews braved the thigh- high flash flood waters. That swallowed whole cars in it's wake, one rescue after another, after another. Watch as emergency crews rush to the aid of these two 19- year- old boys in Apache Junction, who crawled out of their submerged SUV to a small patch of land nearby. At that point their natural instinct is to bail out and get out of the vehicle and at that point they're going with the flow of the water which is very powerful.

A helicopter hovers above, lowering a harness, lifting one of the teenagers across the rising waters to safety. The second snaps pictures of the scene, even appearing to take a self portrait mid- rescue. Fire fighters conducting rescues by air and land, lowering a ladder from a fire truck to rescue this couple stuck in a pick up truck for nearly an hour before following a safety line to land. And just west in Scottsdale a fire fighter carries this woman to dry land as the water consumes her car. A similar fate for this Corvette, carried some 100 yards by the flood waters, the driver rescued. He got out of the vehicle, and was sitting on top of it.

Though, you couldn't, the water was so high that you couldn't see the vehicle at all.
