The flooding resulted in significant damage to homes, vehicles, and infrastructure in the area. In response, the New Mexico National Guard mobilized 59 members to rescue approximately 290 \u200bresidents, with some individuals requiring medical assistance. This disaster is\u2063 compounded \u200cby looming financial constraints faced \u2064by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is expected to run out of \u2062funds by the end of November. Chaves\u200d County Sheriff Charles Yslas issued warnings to residents about the dangers of driving on roads that have been severely compromised by the floodwaters. The rainfall was recorded at 5.78 inches, marking the highest level since 1901, prompting ongoing severe thunderstorm warnings from the National Weather\u2062 Service.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Record-breaking flash flood kills two in New Mexico<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1835578\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/natural-disasters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>flash flood<\/a> in Roswell, <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>New Mexico<\/a>, killed two people overnight Sunday and left hundreds more in need of rescue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Roswell residents have suffered damage to their cars, homes, and roads in the area.
