The sheriff text timed that flooding at 5:45 p.m., named Franquero, Bates Road and Comanche, and units YCU-1469, 1472, 1625, 1460, 1631, 1475 and 1622, and told people to leave now and shelter at Camp Verde Town Gym1.

A further Extreme Immediate Observed GO, sent at 6:28 p.m. MST with area text 1463 GO MSG, timed flooding at 6:30 p.m. at the Cottonwood area by Cottonwood Street, named unit YCU-1463, and again said leave now and shelter at Camp Verde Town Gym.

12News, in a statewide weather update, said a Weather Impact Alert remained in effect for Phoenix and most of Arizona through Sunday, with more rain expected where flooding had already occurred2. That forecast did not name the Cottonwood GO units, streets or Camp Verde Town Gym instruction in the sheriff alerts2.

Casualties, water depths and road closures were not in the IPAWS texts1.
