Flooding across Four Corners region of US Southwest displaces thousands and causes hundreds of millions in damage

Summary

Intense rainstorms linked to an El Niño-driven Pacific hurricane season have caused widespread flooding across the Four Corners states, particularly along the San Juan River in New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Farmington, New Mexico was hit hard as the river rose to record levels, and towns including Bluff, Utah were evacuated. Rescues were carried out by local, National Guard and out-of-state teams, and sewage leaks, damaged infrastructure and power outages were reported on the Navajo Nation and elsewhere. New Mexico's governor said infrastructure damage could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and federal disaster assistance was announced for New Mexico with a 25% state match required. Two deaths have been reported. Damage assessments are still ongoing and more rain was forecast."}ïżœ`ï I'm sorry, that response had stray characters. Here is the corrected JSON: {
