The National Weather Service (NWS) in New Mexico has issued a life-threatening flash flood emergency for the villages of Las Vegas and Romeoville until 10 p.m. MDT tonight. This decision comes in response to slow-moving thunderstorms generating intense downpours across the region.
The heavy rainfall has triggered significant flooding, submerging multiple homes and roads and leaving vehicles stranded in high water. Rivers are overflowing, exacerbating the already critical situation, with more than eight inches of rain recorded thus far.https://x.com/SammiUllahh/status/1804334244824576282
