Just a few weeks ago, heavy flooding left three people dead in Globe. The city’s mayor says they were more prepared for storms over the weekend, when flash flooding hit Globe and Miami once again.
The Gila County Sheriff’s Office had issued evacuation orders Sunday for Little Acres Mobile Home Park and Miami Gardens. But late Sunday night, the sheriff’s office moved them to "SET" status.
The weather conditions caused closures in both directions of the U.S. 60 in the area.

The newest floods come after residents faced similar conditions back less than three weeks ago.
Globe Mayor Al Gameros says despite being more prepared this time around — with equipment like sandbags — rain still damaged infrastructure.
“We had issues with broken waterlines, we had broken sewer lines that we had to mitigate yesterday. We actually had a 12-inch water main that broke that was feeding our tanks," Gameros said.
The National Weather Service issued information about flash floods in the region. Emergency services for Gila County also advised residents to move to higher ground and avoid driving.
Molly Cornwell with the Globe Downtown Association documented the events on a Facebook livestream.
“We just cleaned all this up. This is so dang heartbreaking," she said.
The flooding brought debris, trees and other items down the road.
