A helicopter flies over floodwaters filling Menagers Lake, where the dam is in imminent danger of failing, sending floodwaters rushing into the Tohono O’odham village of Ali Chuk on Oct. 3, 2018, southwest of Sells, Ariz. Evacuations had begun Tuesday night after Hurricane Rosa’s remnants drenched the western half of Arizona.
