Death Valley Climate
The changes in the weather that made the rivers dry up have not gone away. Death Valley is still very dry. There are less than  of rain in Death Valley every year. In August 2004 there was a very bad flood. The flood damaged many buildings and cars, and killed several people. The flood also destroyed many roads, so nobody could go in or out of Death Valley. Death Valley National Park had to be closed for a long time while the park rangers fixed everything.
