14' -
The greatest flood since at least 1913 is in progress near and downstream from La Cueva. Backwater flooding may result in water flowing onto state road 442 near its intersection with highway 518 at La Cueva, halting traffic. Nearby and downstream private river crossings may become unsafe or impassable due to high water although public bridges may remain passable. Significant inundation of pasture and range land persists.
11' -
Pasture and range land both upstream and downstream from the La Cueva river gaging site is becoming further inundated as the river has overtopped its natural banks. Water is still passing under the state highway 518 bridge at La Cueva but smaller private bridge crossings downstream may be overtopped by high water. Irrigation systems may also be damaged.
