Waterfalls appear in Death Valley, the hottest and driest place on Earth
Flash flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Kay has caused waterfalls in the arid Death Valley. The influx of water into Death Valley, which is the hottest and driest place on the planet, comes with Hurricane Kay’s downgraded tropical storm, causing torrential rain over the area on September 10, according to the U.S. National Park Service. Badwater Road is fully closed, and the CA-190 highway is closed from the CA-136 junction to Stovepipe Wells Village after floodwater caused significant damage to the road surface.
