Oak Creek flooding also cut off neighborhoods. AZ Family reports more than 30 people spent three nights cut off near Thompson Bridge before neighbors cleared debris and reinforced the crossing. Deputies have delivered food to stranded residents and visitors, and say they can evacuate anyone who needs emergency medical care.
