Officials warn that Arizona dam could fail and flood village

-

An earthen dam in Arizona’s southern desert could fail and flood a small village because the lake behind it is swollen with runoff from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rosa, according to the National Weather Service.

Ali Chuk, a Native American community of 162 people on the Tohono O’odham Nation reservatio­n, was evacuated, the tribe’s public safety department said in a statement.
