Naco, the town this property stands in, in 5 storm reports between 2005 and 2019: 3 flash flood, 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
United States Border Patrol agents from the Naco Border Patrol Station rescued a woman who was trapped in her vehicle in a flooded wash. The woman was trapped by the flood for more than 45 minutes before the officials were notified. When rescuers did arrive the car was surrounded by rising, swiftly running water that was about 2 inches from the top of the car door and above the victims waist inside.
Thunderstorm outflow winds damaged several trees in Bisbee. Two shallow-rooted tree were blown down completely. Winds also peeled back roofing material on the patio of one house.
Around one inch of rain fell in southern Cochise County during the afternoon of November 27th with a total of 2 to 3 inches of rain by midnight. By mid evening, several roads became impassable. This included Davis Road, King's Highway north of Route 80 and Frontier Road at Double Adobe. Route 80 was closed west of the Mule Pass Tunnel due to a rock slide.
Very heavy rainfall fell across portions of southwest Cochise county, especially around the Sierra Vista and Hereford areas. The Department of Highways reported that several roads in Sierra Vista and Hereford had to be closed due to street flooding. In addition, several washes were flooding in the area.
