Woman said she was carried 150 to 200 feet down the canyon

The woman said she heard the flood coming and hiked up to a sand bank above the creek, but the rising water sent her and her dog into the flood waters and carried them 150 to 200 feet down the canyon where she lost her shoe, rescuers said. 

She said she received a text message saying her emergency message didn't send, so she hiked down the canyon barefoot with her dog.

Rescuers said they reached her around 9:25 p.m., and she was uninjured.
