Four Corners flooding displaces thousands and damages New Mexico, Utah, Colorado communities

Summary

Intense rainstorms have caused historic flooding across the Four Corners region of the U.S. Southwest, including along the San Juan River in Farmington, New Mexico, and in Bluff, Utah. Thousands of residents have been displaced or evacuated, and rescues by local, state, National Guard and out-of-state teams have been carried out. Damage estimates vary by account: New Mexico has been put at around $300 million, while the governor said infrastructure damage alone could cost hundreds of millions. Two deaths have been reported. Sewage spills, damaged infrastructure and power outages are complicating recovery, and federal disaster assistance has been announced for New Mexico, with a 25% state match required. Officials warn residents to avoid floodwaters and keep out of evacuated areas for now.
