Alamogordo, the town this property stands in, in 26 storm reports between 1997 and 2022: 9 hail, 8 thunderstorm wind, 6 flash flood, 2 heavy rain.
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.
Heavy rainfall along the western slopes of the southern Sacramento Mountains led to excessive runoff and major flooding in Alamogordo and Boles Acres. Numerous roads throughout the area were closed, covered with water and debris. There were also some rescues of people trapped in their homes.
Reports of trees down across the county from winds. Car windows were broken and a roof was blown off a trailer home in Alamogordo. A transformer fell into a tree and the tree then fell into a house. About 2000 people in the area were without power for several hours. Some locally dense blowing dust was also reported with the storm.
A cluster of thunderstorms dropped an estimated 3 inches of rain on the western Sacramento Mountains between Alamogordo and Cloudcroft. Mudslides resulted and caused the closure of US Highway 82 for at least two hours.
A weather spotter from Holloman AFB reported a small funnel cloud in association with a strong thunderstorm. The cloud base was rather low and described as below the mountain tops.
Heavy rains from strong thunderstorms produced between one and two inches of rain in an hour. This resulted in extensive urban and arroyo flooding across the city of Alamogordo. Water reached near the first floor of homes in some areas. There were numerous reports of stranded motorists and stalled vehicles. There were no injuries or deaths.
A strong thunderstorm dropped between one and three inches of rain in the Alamogordo area. This resulted in widespread urban and arroyo flooding. The flooding forced the state police to close portions of U.S. route 70 near. Many streets were flooded in Alamogordo with numerous reports of stalled automobiles. Water was deep enough in some intersections to cause vehicles to float. There were no injuries or deaths.
A line of strong thunderstorms accompanied by very strong winds moved through the Alamogordo area during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Wind gusts of 112 mph were reported from at least one automated sensor site on the White Sands Missile Range and winds of at least 75 mph were reported at Holloman AFB before the station's wind equipment broke. Considerable tree damage was noted around the area however damage to structures was limited. The worst damage was found in the Alamogordo subdivision of Bolles Acres. The back porch/deck of a residence was destroyed, as was a 20 foot long trailer , and a small barn constructed of sheet metal on a 2X4 frame. Debris from the barn was carried about 100 yds and struck a site-built stucco home with enough force to penetrate an exposed wall and protrude into the inside of the structure.
