Just one thunderstorm unloading upon a small area can dump a lot of rain in a short period of time during the summertime in the Desert Southwest, New Mexico included. Thus the story last evening in the Mesilla Valley south of Las Cruces in Doña Ana County. CoCoRaHS Station Mesquite 3.1 Miles Northwest (NM-DA-312) reported a 24 hour total of 3.45". Just like California "It Never Rains In New Mexico - But Man When It Does, it Pours."

The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction!
