The Hopi Tribe of Arizona declared a state of emergency on Tuesday due to heavy rains and flooding.
No one has been evacuated but the tribe is prepared to move people if the rains get worse. The tribe has set up an emergency command center.
Other tribes in the Southwest have been hit by heavy rains and flooding as well. Laguna Pueblo and the Navajo Nation are experiencing major problems in New Mexico.
