WASHINGTON -- Parts of several states are under a flash flood watch as the remnants from Hurricane Odile move through the Southwest. A months worth of rain could fall in just hours, and the rain has already started falling.

Arizona is dealing with back to back storms. Last week, severe flooding wreaked havoc and led to dozens of water rescues. This time around, residents are preparing, filling sandbags to protect their homes.

Parts of five states are under a flash flood watch. Flash flooding could last through the weekend.
