BENSON, Ariz. — Juan Pineda recalled the moment the wash near his Benson home turned into a fast flowing river on Tuesday.Pineda pulled out his cellphone to capture what was happening.
"When we heard the water crashing we came this way and started recording. We saw a bunch of water sweeping the trees, branches. Even on the road. You can see some of the damage," said Pineda."It'll take you down with it with a lot of force," said Pineda. Down the road, the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona said they helped a family after their home was severely damaged.
"We did go to Benson a couple of days ago to help with the storm response to help a family who was displaced because of the storms," said Mike Sagara of the American Red Cross of Southern Arizona."We also are on standby right now for Nogales because there is a possibility that the dam may breach and the waters will come up and displace about 15 homes," said Sagara."Oh my goodness. Better be careful," said Pineda.Megan Meier is a reporter for KGUN 9.
