Interstate 40 Reopened After Flood

Above, the map of the affected area by the McKinley County Office of Emergency Management.

Last evening's thunderstorm that produced flash floods in McKinley County, particularly at Milepost 33 of Interstate 40, has cleared out.

The Interstate was reopened last evening. 

I have to go into Gallup today for some grocery shopping and I am curious at what the Fort Wingate/McGaffey interchange looks like today. I am sure the frontage road (Route 66) is still a mess and remains closed. 

That was one heck of a thunderstorm. Rain came down in Jamestown, but it didn't seem too heavy. But the lightning display was entertaining (at least to me). 

This monsoon season will likely go into the record books.
