2.) dumb people trying to cross washes.
people are warned everywhere. the news frequently tells people to watch the fuck out and dont be stupid. but us arizonans are pretty fucking stupid sometimes.

I spent about 6 months on a job in Tucson and I have never seen it rain as hard as it does in the desert when the monsoons come. We were stuck in our motel for three days because all the roads were washed out. The water runs through those washes like water runs off a hard table. Many folks were swept away that year. Those of us from other parts of the country have no appreciation for how fast the washes can nail you until we see it happen.
