Meanwhile, three empty tour boats were spotted down the river, but all 16 occupants were located on a ledge off the river bank, said Maureen Oltrogge, spokeswoman for Grand Canyon National Park. All 16 were airlifted from the scene and transported to the shelter.

Scary stuff, there... hundreds evacuated... :(
 
All I can say is. "wow". Being from my part of the world, I cannot imagine what many of these people are going through! I hope all stay safe and no harm comes to anyone.
