Southwestern Colorado is currently facing severe flooding due to heavy rainfall, which has prompted evacuations and road closures. The San Juan River is expected to rise 4 feet higher compared to the 1911 historic flood in Pagosa Springs. Mandatory evacuations are in effect as state and federal highways are closed. Volunteers are needed to prepare for potential flooding. Flash floods have triggered evacuations in Arizona and Colorado, with a dire warning issued for the Colorado spa town.
“Volunteers are needed to prepare for potential flooding,” — Yusuf Calloway, staff writer at Walley Worth Practice, noted.
