The southeastern New Mexico community of Roswell experienced unprecedented flooding after historic rainfall left at least two dead and hundreds stranded, marking a devastating natural disaster.
Forecasters explained that the deluge in Roswell was influenced by a stationary upper-level low pressure system over Arizona, causing continuous moisture to funnel into eastern New Mexico.
Over 300 people were rescued from the flooding by the New Mexico National Guard, highlighting the severe impact of the weather event on the local population.
Sheriff Mike Herrington shared his own harrowing experience via social media, illustrating local officials’ personal encounters with the rising waters as they sought to help others.
