<b>Wet Weather Leaves Mark</b> Water rose dramatically from an all-day wet storm Sunday, but most of the Verde Valley seemed to have been spared its wrath. One home suffered flooding in the Rimrock area along the creek, but in most cases water approached, but did not enter structures. The big problem was on the interstate highway, where fast-moving cars would hydroplane on the surface water. Montezuma Rimrock Fire Chief Mike Van Dyke reported two rollovers on Sunday. One vehicle carrying six passengers rolled at MP 302 but only the driver was transported to the hospital. A newer model Cadillac was destroyed in a second accident, but the driver refused treatment. Camp Verde FD also transported one driver with non life-threatening injuries among a number of freeway accidents Sunday. Verde Valley FD also reported to an accident on Cornville Road.
