This is the best summary I could come up with:
A woman and her dog were swept up to 200 feet away by flash flooding on Thursday after water surged through a slot canyon in Utah, according to the Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue unit.
The 38-year-old woman was hiking with her dog in Mary Jane Canyon, located about 10 miles east of Arches National Park, when she heard the flooding coming and tried to get to higher ground.
"Believing that her SOS had not been transmitted, she began hiking down the canyon barefoot with her dog," GCSAR said.
The Grand County Sheriff's dispatch had, in fact, received her request for help about eight minutes after she got the message saying it had failed to send.
The helicopter flew down the canyon to search for her and eventually spotted her about two miles downstream from the original coordinates.
GCSAR said hikers should research their planned route and know the terrain they will encounter, as well as the local weather forecasts, adding, "Thunderstorms build quickly and can flood canyons from many miles away."
