New Mexico Floods: Turn Around | Albuquerque News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:24

New Mexico’s monsoon storms are unleashing dangerous flash floods, especially in the northwestern region—Gallup got hammered with rain last Monday, triggering more flooding. Roads are turning into hazardous zones with debris and rushing water that can sweep away cars in just 12 inches. The New Mexico DOT is urging everyone: don’t drive through flooded areas or around barriers—roads may have collapsed beneath the surface. Always check nmroads.com before hitting the road to stay safe and informed.
