Flash flood warnings (click here) were reissued Monday afternoon as a new round of heavy thunderstorms developed over the El Paso, Texas, metropolitan area, where flash floods earlier in the day turned deadly. By Monday night, numerous roads were flooded in the Las Cruces area.
Earlier Monday, a cluster of heavy rain parked over the north side of El Paso and triggered deadly flash flooding. 64-year-old Consance Manzanares drowned Monday after her car was trapped in a canal by flood waters, KVIA reports.
At least two water rescues were performed, according to the El Paso Times. Portions of Hondo Pass, Railroad Drive, and Fairbanks Drive were impassable. Rocks and other debris littered parts of Fairbanks Drive with water reaching up to the wheel wells of at least one vehicle, according to KFOX-TV. Floodwaters reached the front entrance of El Paso Community College.
