Floodwaters from torrential rains swept through central Arizona on Friday night, leaving at least three people dead and forcing some residents to climb on their roofs, officials said.

Emergency workers on Saturday morning searched for people needing rescue, as more rains were expected later in the day.

The damage was concentrated in Globe, a city of roughly 7,000 people about a 90-minute drive east of Phoenix, where heavy rains overflowed a creek and floodwaters swept away several vehicles and overwhelmed the city’s main highway.

The three victims were found in Gila County, according to Carl Melford, the county emergency manager. As of Saturday afternoon, officials had not confirmed if any people were missing.
