| Episode Narrative |
A deep layer of moisture over northeast New Mexico helped to fuel thunderstorms with heavy rain over Union and Santa Fe counties. This resulted in the flooding of State Highway 370 from Clayton to Clayton Lake State Park, as well as caused the Santa Fe River to swell. |
| Event Narrative |
A couple driving home from dinner was caught in the swollen Santa Fe River at San Ysidro Crossing. The couple attempted to drive through the flooded roadway, when the river surged and a tree came down changing the flow of the river. Santa Fe fire department successfully rescued the couple who only sustained minor injuries. At the time of the rescue, the water was up to the car windows. After the rescue, the car floated and flipped over San Ysidro Falls, where later it was found to be totaled. |
