Sheriff Danos: Monsoon brought "a bang" and localized flooding across Cochise County
Summary
Cochise County Sheriff Mark Danos described a powerful monsoon that produced heavy lightning and localized flooding — including a flooded traffic circle in Bisbee — and credited first responders and utilities for the response.
Sheriff Mark Danos told listeners the week'long monsoon arrived "with a bang," producing dramatic lightning and heavy rain that led to localized flooding across Cochise County. He singled out a flooded traffic circle in Bisbee and said rainfall varied by location, noting his area near Ramsey Canyon was "about 3 to 4 inches above the year to date."
Danos praised police, fire, EMS and the power company for responding and said the storms reshaped local conditions: "The mountains are green," he said, while also noting some eastern-rim ranchers remain short on water. The sheriff urged residents to heed safety guidance and credited county crews for keeping roads and critical facilities operational as conditions changed.
