Summary

Severe flooding triggered by heavy rainfall affected the Four Corners region where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah converge in late October 2026. The San Juan River and Animas River overflowed their banks, with water levels reaching historic and record-breaking heights. Evacuations were ordered in vulnerable areas of New Mexico (including Farmington, Bloomfield, and San Juan County) and Colorado (with Governor Jared Polis declaring a disaster emergency for 11 counties). Emergency responders conducted at least 60 rescues using helicopters, boats, and amphibious vehicles, including rooftop extractions. The Bloomfield Water Reclamation Plant was shut down, with untreated wastewater flowing into the river. Roads and infrastructure across the region were damaged or closed due to washouts, landslides, and flooded conditions. The neighborhood in Bloomfield remained flooded, and a shipping container was observed drifting down a street. One person was injured. Officials characterized the event as once-in-a-generation flooding. Additional rainfall was forecast through at least the weekend, with concerns about further damage extending into 2027.
