PHOENIX (AP) -- A handful of hikers remained unaccounted for after flooding struck a tiny village near the Grand Canyon rim, a community so remote it is the only one in America where the mail is delivered by mule.

The search was to resume today for about 11 people missing near the Havasupai Tribe's village of Supai.

Authorities say it's possible those people might have already left, but for now they're assuming the visitors are still in the canyon.
