Dramatic footage captured the moment a tourist was airlifted from a canyon on the Utah-Arizona border as flash flooding hit.

Heavy rainfall has left at least two people dead in desperate rescue efforts in the area for a week as the West Coast continues to be hit by devastating weather.

In recent days, an atmospheric river event has washed over the region, bringing with it torrential rains, strong winds and snow storms.

After months of historic snowfall California and surrounding states, a severe weather front brought the third major storm of the year to hit the coast, killing at least 16 people.

Shocking aerial footage prompted Kane County Sheriff Lt. Allen Aldredge to confirm that the first person found dead was among a group of three hikers who ventured across the Utah-Arizona border.

Another person rescued from the group was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was treated for hypothermia and severe injuries after surviving the ordeal for several days.

Authorities confirmed they found a second body Wednesday afternoon in a cavernous area, believed to be a man who was identified as missing earlier this week, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Two Utah Department of Public Safety helicopters were used to rescue a group of three hikers Wednesday, a day after 11 others were pulled from fast-moving floodwaters.

In Washington County, Utah, the sheriff’s office confirmed they responded to a call on another canyon trail after receiving a report that three adults and three children were stranded.

A flash flood swept through the area they were traveling through, leaving the group, including children aged two, four and six, stranded on one side.

Search and rescue teams built a makeshift zipline to ferry gear and blankets across the river before another was secured to ferry people to safety.

Flooding can cause water levels to rise in seconds, with the atmospheric river storm that has swept through the West Coast since last weekend.

Emergency services were called out across the West Coast after the Pineapple Express storm front made landfall at the weekend.

In another heroic helicopter rescue, footage emerged showing a man desperately clinging to a wall after it was swept away by the raging Los Angeles River.

Los Angeles Fire Department ground and air crews responded around 5 p.m. Wednesday when the man, who has not yet been identified, grabbed onto a “concrete wall.”

In neighboring Orange County, officials declared a local state of emergency due to torrential storms.

Residents of four apartment buildings in San Clemente were forced to evacuate after a slope at the back of the property collapsed – just days after an Oakland, Calif., man died when the roof of a warehouse caved in on him due to the weather.

The city of Woodlake was also among those affected by the atmospheric river storm, with firefighters and police reportedly canoeing the streets to rescue those trapped in their homes.

Cities across the West Coast are handing out sandbags to soften the deep floodwaters from entering homes, while emergency shelters have been set up.

California’s weather woes began after last week’s third major storm of the year, dubbed the “Pineapple Express,” hit California.

The devastating weather front imposed a state of emergency in more than 20 counties, and evacuation orders were issued in coastal counties late last week.

Parts of California saw more than an inch of rain every hour over the weekend, while mountainous regions like the San Bernadino Valley were still blanketed in snow.
