Biloxi Gulfport, MS, November 2, 2026 — Unusually heavy rainfall has inundated parts of the arid Southwest, leading to significant flooding across the region. The extreme weather event has impacted multiple states, including Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, and specifically the Four Corners region.
The deluge has resulted in widespread disruptions, forcing hundreds of residents to evacuate their homes. Authorities have confirmed at least one fatality directly linked to the flooding.
