San Francisco: Rescuers continued to search on Tuesday for 11 people reported missing after flooding through the Grand Canyon park, police said.

Rescuers have evacuated more than 200 people by helicopter so far. Most of the evacuees were residents and visitors of the Supai village.

"There's a remote possibility they left the canyon without us knowing, but there's a strong possibility they are still there," said police spokeswoman Kathleen Levinson.
