Socorro, the town this property stands in, in 24 storm reports between 1996 and 2023: 13 hail, 5 flash flood, 3 thunderstorm wind, 1 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 rain near Socorro filled arroyos with runoff during the late evening. Several levees along Arroyo Matanza failed as additional strong runoff from the Magdalena Mountains overwhelmed a 90 degree turn in the arroyo just south of Socorro. Water flooded nearly 800 acres of farmland washing away fresh cut alfalfa hay and covering about 300 acres in heavy mud. An adjacent railroad bed was also undercut least 5 times along 2 miles of track.
Isolated heavy rain of near 1 inch an hour produced heavy street flooding in Socorro. Several small arroyos, filled with weeds and other debris overflowed and caused damage to several homes.
Several tree branches larger than 2 inches in diameter were broken off of trees from wind gusts estimated around 60 mph. In addition, high winds knocked the roof off of an abandoned single wide trailer, which fell onto the roof a neighboring house on Blue Canyon Dr.
Heavy rain of 2 to 3 inches on the west water shed area of Water Canyon caused flash flooding that moved east to Interstate 25 at Escondida. Some road and irrigation ditch repairs were wiped out by this fresh flooding.
