| Episode Narrative |
A deep tap of low and mid level moisture combined with a weak upper level disturbance forced the development of localized flash flooding and strong storms over many parts of northern and central NM. |
| Event Narrative |
Sixty feet of forest service road 101 washed out and remained closed for over twelve hours. Culverts along road washed out as well with estimates that water was four feet deep. Public works and local law enforcements ferried 40 people living in the canyon that work in Magdalena with large four wheel drive vehicles after the water receded. |
