New Mexico Floods Demand Action | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s flooding crisis is hitting hard—Gallup’s power and water are down, and the Zuni Pueblo is underwater.

Officials urge residents to seal doors, vents, and windows with tarps and tape, then stack sandbags two wide and two high to keep water out. This is about immediate action and protection as communities brace for more. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Teen Reunited Against Will at Border | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s Children, Youth and Families Department is under fire after sending a 15-year-old teen to reunite with his mother in Mexico — despite his clear refusal and the agency’s own admission they can’t conduct in-person visits there. Two virtual home visits deemed the setup “safe,” but the teen ended up homeless in Texas after crying during his border crossing. State Rep. Doreen Gallegos slammed the agency for ignoring red flags and failing to collaborate with Mexico’s child welfare system, calling the handling “lazy” and “sloppy.” She’s now pushing for legislative change to empower the Office of the Child Advocate and prevent future tragedies — as questions mount about CYFD’s ethics and oversight.

Albuquerque Storm Drops Two Inches | Albuquerque News

Albuquerque took a brutal weather hit Friday night with nearly two inches of rain in the Northeast Heights and wind gusts hitting 78 mph—second strongest ever recorded, only beaten by an 89 mph gust in 2013. One spot dumped .74 inches in just 30 minutes, forcing a baseball game’s cancellation and making Darius Rucker postpone his show. Flash flood warnings were issued as arroyos turned into rivers, marking the second such warning this year after July 18. While some areas like north of Paseo del Norte barely got a trace, the West Side saw .25 to .5 inches, and Rio Rancho got about .5 inches. Rain chances are fading for the next few days but return Tuesday and Wednesday—with Monday and Tuesday promising dangerously hot temps, possibly hitting triple digits.
