Arizona Flooding: Oak Creek Rises 12 Feet, Sedona Issues Get Out Now Order as I-17 Closes

Arizona flooding, November 1, 2026: Oak Creek rose more than 12 feet in nine hours, and Sedona's creekside neighborhoods were ordered to get out now. As of Sunday afternoon, November 1 (3:45 p.m. MST, 22:45 UTC), provisional USGS data put the creek at 15.46 feet at 9:45 a.m., above flood stage. The Arizona flooding closed stretches of Interstate 17 and sent the Verde River past 22 feet. Near Camp Verde, Arizona flooding was forecast to reach major flood stage overnight. Our maps show how an unusually strong autumn atmospheric river drove the Arizona flooding.
