|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 2011 | Flash Flood | Cochiti Pueblo | $3,000,000 | During the damage survey of the previous days flooding, abundant rain above Cochiti Canyon resulted in another, more devastating flood, to Dixon's Apple Orchard which was witness first hand by the NWS Albuquerque Warning Coordination Meteorologist. The force of the flow was estimated to be 3 times as that of the previous days flood. At least 10 feet high, the width of the flood waters was approximately 100 yards wide. 20 to 40 percent more of the apple orchard was destroyed. Also, the main storage building that sustained damage in the previous days flood was wiped completely off its foundation. The semi truck that moved 200 yards before, was washed downstream and ended up in the Cochiti Lake Reservoir in pieces. |
| September 2013 | Flood | Cochiti Pueblo | $100,000 | NM 85 and 90 were initially flooded with 5,000 cfs flow through the area on the 12th then extremely heavy rainfall created severe flooding through the 13th.
