Raging floodwaters have ravaged northwest New Mexico, trapping families on rooftops and sparking frantic helicopter rescues as a powerful Pacific storm unleashes chaos across the Southwest. “Once-in-a-generation” flooding along the San Juan and Animas rivers slammed communities across San Juan County Thursday, with more water expected to surge downstream through the weekend. New Mexico State Police and National Guard troops were seen pulling stranded residents to safety and scouring the river in Bloomfield as floodwaters swallowed cars, poured into homes and forced families onto rooftops.
