WendenFlooding

24 JANUARY 2010 -- WENDEN, AZ: Margaret Mesecher (CQ) 82, talks about how she and her husband were evacuated from their home Thursday night. They moved to Wenden in 2000, just before the town's first flood. Their home was destroyed in that flood. This time their yard and home exterior were damaged but the interior was undamaged. Wenden was slammed by its second 100 year flood in 10 years on Thursday night when water raced through Centennial Wash and into the small town in La Paz County west of Phoenix. Most of the town's residents were evacuated to Red Cross shelters in Salome, about 5 miles west of Wenden. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
