PHOENIX Crews rescued residents and motorists after a monsoon surge that brought extensive flooding to Arizona, trapped residents in their homes, closed a major freeway and paralyzed traffic on several streets, CBS affiliate KPHO reported.

Sporadic storms are expected to continue in the area for the next few days.

"There's a lot of concern about flash flooding," Waters said.

Dramatic aerial television footage showed a river of muddy water rushing down I 17 about 25 miles north of Phoenix as motorists worked to move into other lanes to avoid the deluge.
