Episode Narrative Thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall by mid afternoon across portions of western New Mexico. The heavy rainfall fell so quickly that vehicles were swept away into nearby arroyos due to the high water flow. Luckily, no one was injured.
Event Narrative Dirt roads were washed away by the heavy rainfall in the Timberlake Ranch subdivision. Giant boulders blocked the roadways, preventing residents from making it home from the main roadway.
