Flash flood warnings prompt evacuations for some Globe and Miami communities

GLOBE, AZ (AZFamily) — Some Gila County residents are being advised to evacuate due to severe weather and flash flooding in the area.

The Gila County Division of Emergency Management said the following areas are now on “GO” status:

Little Acres Mobile Home Park
Miami Gardens

“In the event of a National Weather Service flash flood warning, we strongly reccomend that residents of Miami Gardens and Little Acres Mobile Home Park evacuate the area immeditaley to seek higher ground until the weather subsides,” the county said in a social media post Sunday night.

The following areas are on “SET” status:

Little Acres
Residences along Russell Road (Near Russell Gulch)
Wheatfields

There is a flash flood warning in effect until midnight.

Communities in Globe and Miami are still trying to recover from deadly flooding a few weeks ago when they were hit with fresh flood damage after more storms Sunday.

The latest downpour caused water to overflow bridges and created additional structural concerns in Globe, where some buildings remain off-limits due to instability from previous water damage.

The latest downpour caused water to overflow bridges and created additional structural concerns in Globe.

Globe Mayor Al Gameros saw the flooding firsthand. “We stood there while it was coming over, and we kept backing up as it was coming to us,” he said. “We had a business down there that didn’t do a lot of sandbagging, and the water was up to about calf level.”

Despite the new flooding, preparedness measures helped minimize damage in many areas. Gameros said that many businesses took proactive steps this time around.

“A lot of the businesses down here went ahead and sand bagged a lot of their areas and there’s no damage, no mud in these buildings that we can see at this point so that really helped a lot,” he said.

In nearby Miami, residents also dealt with overflowing washes. Miami resident Jared Brown said the flooding “could have been a lot more damage but everybody prepared with sand bags but there is still a lot of mopping and cleaning up.”

Officials said engineers will return to assess structural damage before allowing access to restricted zones in Globe. The communities said that while Sunday’s storm could have been worse, there is still a lot of recovery work ahead.

Inter Miami upset 2.0? Nashville SC force Game 3 | MLSSoccer.com

The Coyotes fought to a memorable 2-1 win at GEODIS Park on Saturday, keeping their Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs hopes alive behind goals from Sam Surridge and Josh Bauer.

Lionel Messi pulled one back late for the Herons, but Nashville held on to send the Round One Best-of-3 Series down to the wire.

Both sides will play for a spot in the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Nov. 8 at Chase Stadium.

“I think our group was committed to responding to play our way here at home,” said head coach B.J. Callaghan, praising his side’s response from a 3-1 loss in Game 1.

“We did that from the opening whistle. And it’s just about making sure that we take that mentality with us, no matter if we’re home or away, in another game where it’s win or go home.”

Statement performance

After conceding eight goals to Miami across their last two meetings, the Coyotes put in a monumental defensive effort to hold the visitors to just a single, late goal.

“You can talk a lot about tactics and on-the-field stuff. I think this game wasn’t so much about that,” said Bauer, who started at left back in place of the injured Daniel Lovitz. “You know, we made little tweaks and we watched the video and did some things differently.

“But this game, this game was between the ears and in your hearts. And you could see that, I think, from everyone tonight. Little cold and rainy. Perfect for us just to be dogs out there.”

Saturday was Nashville’s 10th meeting against Miami since Messi’s arrival in the summer of 2023. They hadn’t won any of those, notably losing the Leagues Cup 2023 final and being knocked out of the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup by the South Florida side, among other setbacks.

For the Coyotes, it was important to remind themselves – and the league – that it’s not as one-sided a rivalry as recent history might indicate.

“We can go toe to toe like we did tonight and play the type of game that we want to play,” said Bauer. “We talk about the game within the game and all the little extra stuff that goes on. We’ve got to be nasty. We’ve got to show that. But I think this gives us a lot of confidence, the first time beating Miami and kind of getting that monkey off our back.”

2024 all over again?

Heading into a pivotal Game 3, Nashville hope to ensure Miami exit the playoffs in Round One for the second year in a row.

The 2024 Supporters’ Shield winners suffered an all-time upset last season when No. 9 seed Atlanta United overcame a Game 1 loss by winning the next two matches to send that year’s favorites packing.

While that certainly has to be in the back of Nashville’s mind, they’re focusing less on Atlanta’s performance last year and more on the successes they’ve already had in 2025. Winning the US Open Cup, their first trophy in club history, has given them the belief – and the hardware – to validate the idea that they can win crucial, knockout matches against great teams.

“We’re in a constant state of trying to get better… and we get better from using those past experiences,” said Callaghan. “There’s a lot of things that we can point to. Like playing in an elimination tournament like the Open Cup… There’s that pressure of it’s win or go home. That’s an easy one.”

“It’s hard to win on the road in this league, and we know it’s going to take an effort even greater than what we had tonight to beat them on the road,” added Bauer. “I know that B.J. and the rest of the staff are going to have us prepared and ready to go and put our best foot forward.

“These are when the lights are the brightest. We’ve got to be up for it.”

SNAP uncertainty leaves South Florida seniors scrambling for food aid

SNAP uncertainty leaves South Florida seniors scrambling for food aid

Many people are unsure whether their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will be replenished on Saturday.

With so much uncertainty, local food organizations are preparing for an influx of need throughout communities.

Senior citizens face rising food insecurity

One of the most vulnerable groups — and a significant portion of SNAP recipients — is senior citizens.

The Pantry of Broward County and Meals on Wheels South Florida told CBS News Miami they are being inundated with calls from elderly people who are terrified of what’s to come.

“We are hearing horror stories on a daily basis of folks just cannot make ends meet,” said Wendy Bourgault, executive director of Meals on Wheels South Florida.

Bourgault said that at the beginning of the week, her Broward County office was swamped with calls from people whose SNAP benefits would be ending.

She said one morning, they were hit with 20 calls looking for help with food.

“They have to choose, ‘Do I run electricity? Do I go to the doctor? Do I buy food?’” said Bourgault.

New relief program targets homebound seniors

After noticing a rise in the cry for help, Meals on Wheels South Florida established the Senior SNAP Relief Program.

“Over 60, homebound, and in need who have lost their SNAP benefits, we will kick in immediately two weeks’ worth of food. Maybe by then it will be ended. If it isn’t, you’ll immediately get another two weeks,” said Bourgault.

Empty shelf after empty shelf is becoming a trend at the Pantry of Broward County.

Pantry prepares for disaster-level demand

With the ending of SNAP benefits, staff said they are preparing for a natural disaster, like it’s a hurricane.

“It’s all hands on deck for the staff. It’s trying to get as many volunteers in as possible,” said Warren Lubow, chief operating officer of the Pantry of Broward County.

Lubow said the phones have been nonstop with calls from seniors seeking help.

Ninety percent of their clients receive SNAP.

“You take away those SNAP benefits — that’s less money in their pockets for rent, for food. For electric bills, water bills,” said Lubow.

Already serving 600 seniors across Broward County, the pantry is trying its hardest to serve everyone.

“We have been getting a lot more requests for new clients. We have a waitlist of over 150 people,” said Lubow.

Volunteers urgently needed to meet demand

Both organizations say there’s a great need for volunteers during this time.
