Navajo Dam's capacity, per San Juan County68.48%

If you have family or plans in the Four Corners, here's where San Juan County stood Monday. Officials told people within a half mile of the Animas, La Plata and San Juan rivers to evacuate, and they said they “haven’t seen the crest yet” on the San Juan and Animas. The Animas breached its banks south of the Broadway Bridge.

Sandbags are at San Juan County Fire Rescue Stations 11, 24, 42 and 62, plus the Lee Acres substation, Hills Church, Bloomfield MOC, Wildhorse Valley and Harper Valley. Aztec city officials are asking for conservation because the sewer system is strained.

  • Farmington zone: Cedar St. to Murray Dr., Broadway to Auburn Ave.
  • Chama: village officials issued evacuations late Sunday night
  • Offline: sewer lift stations in Kirtland and Aztec
  • Shelter:

Most roads on the closure list stayed shut Monday

I am an amputee with a prosthetic leg and get along real well.

“Today I tripped and had a fall and had to call the RRFD because I could not get up. They responded immediately with a crew of four (firetruck and ambulance). They got me back up in moments and were warm and friendly and really concerned if I had sustained any injuries (did not). They were all strong and fit young men…”

The Wrap

Dozens of dogs in costumes, fur dye, and special accessories paraded through the Sabana Grande Recreation Center on Halloween Saturday for Día de los Perros y Gatos. The city of Rio Rancho hosts the annual event, inspired by Día de los Muertos, to honor pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge and help shelter pets find new homes. Good dogs, all of them.
