Residents near Little Colorado River remain evacuated

With all of the focus on the deaths in Prescott and Fountain Hills I hadn't realized how bad things were elsewhere in the state.
East Valley Tribune: "LEUPP, Ariz. (AP) -- Floodwaters were still causing problems in northern Arizona on Saturday as residents in the valley south of the Little Colorado River remained evacuated from their homes. Steady rain has caused the Little Colorado River to swell to 10 feet by early Saturday, Navajo officials said. Authorities evacuated an area near Leupp, northwest of Winslow under the threat of flooding."
