凤凰城万圣节暴雨成灾：盐河放水淹没低水位过河点、洪水预警延至11月2日
亚利桑那州马里科帕县凤凰城市，10月31日迎来一个潮湿的万圣节。国家气象局说，这是当地自1987年以来首次在万圣节当天下雨。
两波风暴系统接连影响亚利桑那州，第一波已在10月30日给凤凰城都会区带来约0.1至1英寸以上的降雨。第二波在10月31日下午抵达，盐河项目当天开始从花岗岩礁大坝放水，导致坦佩镇湖上游盐河沿岸的低水位过河点被淹，其中包括麦凯利普斯路。
国家气象局当天为马里科帕县发布洪水预警，并随后把预警延长至11月2日上午8时，提醒民众继续遵守道路封闭措施。
消防部门在凤凰城东北部一条水道中救出六人，坦佩和斯科茨代尔的消防员还救出一名绕过路障驶入积水路面的司机，10月30日的救援中无人受伤。
气象部门预计，凤凰城地区在雷暴中还可能再下1至2英寸雨，中部高海拔地区局部可达4英寸，降雨预计持续到11月1日。

Halloween Storms Flood Phoenix: Salt River Releases Submerge Low-Water Crossings, Flood Warning Extended to November 2
Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona — Halloween turned wet on October 31, the first rain on Halloween in the area since 1987, according to the National Weather Service.
A two-part storm system moved across Arizona. The first part dropped from a tenth of an inch to more than an inch of rain around metro Phoenix on October 30. As the second part arrived on October 31, the Salt River Project began releasing water from Granite Reef Dam, flooding low-water crossings along the Salt River upstream of Tempe Town Lake, including McKellips Road.
The weather service issued a flood warning for Maricopa County and later extended it through 8 a.m. on November 2, urging residents to keep heeding road closures.
Firefighters rescued six people from a wash in northeast Phoenix, and Tempe and Scottsdale crews rescued a driver who went around a barricade into a flooded roadway on October 30; no one was hurt in that rescue.
Phoenix could see another 1 to 2 inches of rain under thunderstorms, with up to 4 inches in higher terrain in central Arizona, and rain was expected to continue into November 1.
