Flash floods left their mark on Death Valley, but dunes are erasing it

Original: A monster flood hit Death Valley. Dune recovery is erasing the evidence

Death Valley, normally the driest place in North America, was struck by severe flooding that reshaped parts of the desert landscape. According to reporting by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the flood's evidence is now being slowly erased as shifting sand dunes naturally recover and bury the damage. The story highlights how quickly desert environments can both transform and heal after extreme weather events.

Why now: Recent flooding in an famously arid national park is unusual, drawing attention to extreme weather patterns in the region.
