Southeast Albuquerque Arroyo Crisis | Albuquerque News

Flash floods in Southeast Albuquerque have turned a local arroyo nicknamed “The Box” into a deadly trap—two rescues and one fatality in just ten days. Thursday night, firefighters saved one man with help from an off-duty lieutenant, while the second person vanished into rushing waters. Just days before, another pair met the same fate: one rescued, the other found dead under four feet of water. Residents are terrified and demanding action—city officials must urgently identify how people access these dangerous zones and seal them off before more lives are lost. Nature’s fury is unpredictable, but prevention is within reach. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
