The sign to the Badwater Road turnoff is left in the debris of flood waters downstream from where dozens of cars were damaged as Death Valley National Park partially reopens two weeks after record-setting rainfall caused a historic flash flood, on August 20, 2022 in Death Valley, California. Heavy rainfall from cloudbursts across California's deserts has caused major damage in many areas. Death Valley National Park, Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park are still recovering and only partially reopened. Park representatives said that the storm that shut down Death Valley on August 6 was a once in a thousand years event and could be the most widespread catastrophic event in the park's history, damaging 60 vehicles and trapping 1,000 people.
