Impact & Risks

The flash flooding poses a significant risk to low-lying and flood-prone areas, including urban neighborhoods and major roadways. Residents in Albuquerque and surrounding areas, such as Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and Sandia Heights, are particularly vulnerable. The rapid rise of water levels in Embudo Arroyo and other waterways increases the likelihood of property damage and potential life-threatening situations. Travelers on Interstate 40 and Interstate 25 should exercise extreme caution due to possible water accumulation and reduced visibility.
