Trees were slaughtered Sunday in the Yuma region and the city of about 100,000 inhabitants located in southwestern Arizona is expected to experience heavy rainfall in the coming days.
"I have been working here for 25 years and have never seen anything like this," Josh Magna, maintenance worker, told KYMA.
Rosa has also brought heavy rainfall to parts of southern California. The floodwaters swept sections of Highway 95 in San Bernardino County early Monday morning, depositing rocks and other debris on the road.
According to the Associated Press, schools have been closed in the states of Baja California and Sonora in Mexico just before the storm arrives. Authorities urged people not to drive during the storm, especially along the Mexican coastal road.
