災害 · Southwest floodsFour Communities Can Return After New Mexico Dam Scare—Rincon Remains Evacuated文字 2026年9月30日 上午11:51 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:09Flood water breached Ringcon's levee, and residents still cannot return home.0:14Four neighboring communities have permission to return after a dam failure scare,0:18but that does not establish that the dam is permanently secure.0:21What has changed enough to let people return, and where does the danger remain?0:25Four communities were cleared to return late September 29th.0:28Salem, Garfield, Hatch, and Placidus.0:31Weather improved, and the immediate prospect of substantial additional rain0:35diminished.0:36Rincon's evacuation remained in effect in the overnight updates available early0:40September 30th.0:41The lifting announcement is placed around 10.20 or shortly before 11 at night, but0:45its exact minute is unresolved.0:47An article's update time is not necessarily the time an evacuation order changed.0:52A small piping failure at McLeod Dam was reported mitigated by about 8.30 that0:56evening.0:57Pumps were on their way to lower the water level and pressure.1:00That was a consequential change from the afternoon warning of imminent failure, not1:03a final engineering verdict.1:05Water was no longer exiting the dam at that point.1:08Piping means internal erosion associated with water moving through or beneath a1:12structure.1:12It does not by itself establish a completed breach through the entire dam body.1:17Earlier water coming over the top also did not prove that the dam had collapsed.1:21More rain and renewed overtopping remained concerns.1:23A separate levee breach near Rincon's water plant and standing floodwater helped1:28keep that community evacuated.1:29That levee is not McLeod Dam, and its breach is not evidence that the dam collapsed.1:34McLeod, also called Garfield Dam locally, sits on McLeod Arroyo near Garfield in1:38northwestern Doña Anna County.1:40Its precise coordinates and official identification number remain unavailable.1:44Several retention dams in the Hatch Valley were nearly full while intense runoff1:48increased the downstream danger.1:50Highway 187 near Salem and Garfield closed because of water and debris.1:55The initial flash flood emergency covered rural ground between Garfield and Salem,1:59including Highways 187 and 390 in irrigation drains.2:03It carried instructions to seek higher ground immediately and described a2:06particularly dangerous situation.2:07Coverage later extended through the Hatch Valley between the Sierra County line and2:10Rincon.2:11Families in Salem, Garfield, and Rincon were told to leave during the afternoon.2:15Hatch and then Placidas were added that evening.2:18Hatch has approximately 1,500 to 1,600 residents.2:21That is a population estimate, not the number who evacuated.2:24No verified count establishes how many people left, used shelters, or stayed home.2:28The initial county notice strongly encouraged Salem and Garfield residents to2:32evacuate immediately.2:33It identified reception sites at the Radium Springs Community Resource Center,2:3712,060 Lindbeck Road, and the Doña Ana Community Resource Center, 57452:43Ledesma Drive.2:44The Red Cross was dispatched to Radium Springs.2:47Residents were directed toward Interstate 25 and safer locations, avoiding flooded2:52roads and low water crossings, and urged to take medicines, limited essentials, and2:56pets rather than wait for conditions to worsen.2:58The evening emergency warning also changed.3:01At 6.59 Mountain Daylight time, the emergency for Hatch, Salem, and Placidas was set3:05to last until 8.45.3:07After that expiry, later warning coverage narrowed to Radium Springs and Rincon.3:12First through 11:30 at night, then 1:30 in the morning.3:15The earlier emergency is not a current warning, and none of those notices confirms a3:19full dam breach.3:20The national alert estimates span 25 million people under flood alerts and more than3:2530 million under weather alerts.3:27Those are different categories potentially covering different areas or moments.3:31They cannot be added together, treated as a settled official census, or described as3:35a verified increase.3:36Weather alerts are broader than flood alerts.3:38The two accounts have not been independently reconciled.3:41A wider forecast put approximately 33 million people in Tuesday's Southwest and3:45Central Plains flood threat footprint, and 150 million across more than 30 states in3:50the week-long footprint.3:52Those described forecast exposure, not independently verified populations under3:56active flood warnings.3:57Likewise, the regional significant flash flood risk of level 3 on a four-level scale4:02is a forecast assessment, not flood depth and not the probability that a particular4:06dam will fail.4:07Three people were rescued from flooded roads in Tonopah and New River that morning.4:11The helicopter extraction involved one man in Tonopa, west of Phoenix, not inside4:16western Phoenix City limits.4:17The other two were New River vehicle assists.4:20Multiple descriptions of the same helicopter extraction do not establish multiple4:23rescues.4:24The Tonopa man stood on the roof of a silver Toyota Tacoma lying on its side in4:28floodwater, approximately 30 feet from shore near 327th Avenue and Salome Highway.4:34The road was also described as 327th Drive.4:37The extraction happened around 8.30 on September 29th, with another description4:41placing it just after 8.4:43A sheriff's aviation crew used a helicopter long line or hoist.4:46The crew included pilot Rich Dickner and hoist technician Lindsey Smith.4:50The New River assists included a box truck incident in a wash, whose driver got out,4:55and another stuck vehicle near 19th Avenue in Irvine.4:58The Tonopah man's medical outcome remains unsettled.5:01Early descriptions said he was transported or hospitalized, with his condition5:05unspecified.5:06Later descriptions said he was not hurt, was safe that evening, or did not need a5:10hospital.5:11His rescue is established, but a hospital admission, injury diagnosis, and5:14reconciled medical outcome are not.5:17A man rescued from a Las Vegas drainage tunnel was a different person, rescued by a5:21different agency on a different day.5:23Clark County firefighters responded late Monday, September 28th, near Twain and5:28Eastern Avenues after he fell from a bridge into fast-moving water and the tunnel.5:32Initial rope bag attempts failed.5:34A technical rescue team used a high-point rope system to raise both the man and a5:38rescue technician.5:40He was assessed at the scene and released.5:42The official response time was approximately 10.04 at night.5:45Another account placed it just after 11.5:48September 29th was the publication date, not the established rescue date.5:52A volunteer gauge northeast of Bullhead City recorded 2.34 inches by 7 in the5:57morning, September 29th, over roughly the preceding 24 hours.6:01Its observer reported no flooding at that particular site.6:04A different airport station recorded 0.72 inches on September 28th and 0.30 on6:09September 29th.6:10Using local calendar days, adding those gives 1.02 inches, but that arithmetic is6:16not a separately issued official storm total.6:18Different locations and observation windows prevent a direct comparison without6:22those qualifications.6:23The 3.91 inch figure was a September monthly total at another volunteer station, not6:28an established accumulation from this storm.6:31Acclaimed 1.91 inch Bullhead City reading at 12.15 in the morning, September 29th,6:37was not established as an event measurement.6:39The widespread 1 to 3 inch figure with locally more than 5 inches was a northern New6:44Mexico and mountain forecast, not measured rainfall at McLeod Dam or across Doñaana6:48County.6:49That forecast discussion was updated at 5.54 Mountain Daylight Time, with key6:53messages at 5.51.6:55A separate 9.40 morning precipitation report covered prior 24-hour observations,7:00including Albuquerque area readings above 1 or 2 inches.7:03It did not turn the later forecast into an observed total.7:06A verified dam area accumulation and measurement period remain unavailable.7:11Previously wet ground increased runoff as tropical moisture associated with7:14Hurricane Polo's remnants moved through the region.7:17The next major exposure is Texas, where much of the rainfall threat still lay ahead7:22in the early September 30th assessment.7:24South central Texas could receive widespread event totals of 2 to 4 inches with7:28isolated totals near 8 inches.7:30The flood watch runs from 7 Wednesday evening, September 30th, through 7 Friday7:34evening, October 2nd, Central Daylight Time.7:36The heaviest threat is Wednesday night through Friday, especially Thursday and7:39Thursday night, as a front and tropical moisture favor repeated rain.7:42The exact claimed Tuesday morning issuance time has not been established.7:46The earlier Central Texas forecast allowed up to 7 inches beginning Wednesday.7:50It did not mean 7 inches had fallen, or that all 7 would fall Wednesday alone.7:54No measured 7-inch total has been verified for this event.7:57Damaging winds were also a forecast possibility, initially for Wednesday afternoon8:01and evening.8:01Later discussion emphasizes strong or severe wind and hail with storms Wednesday8:05night through Friday morning.8:06That is not an established report of wind damage already occurring.8:09Early Wednesday daytime forecasts give south or southeast winds of 10 to 15 miles an8:14hour, gusting around 25, along the Austin-San Antonio Interstate 35 corridor.8:18Parts of the Hill Country and West Central area have 15 to 20 mile an hour winds,8:22gusting around 30.8:23Those ordinary forecast winds are not interchangeable with a verified severe8:27thunderstorm damage report.8:28The partial return answers the immediate question only in part.8:32Improved weather allowed four communities to return, while floodwater and a separate8:36levee breach kept Ringcon evacuated.8:39A final engineering all-clear for McLeod Dam is not yet confirmed.8:43There is no established later lifting of Rincon's order, complete property damage8:47assessment, or regional casualty tally.8:49Texas's isolated 7 to 8 inch rainfall figures remain forecasts, with the watch8:54extending through Friday evening.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex短片 ↗誰報導了什麼多家媒體報導的要點Evacuations near the New Mexico
