Deming Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Several trees were blown down and at least one roof blown off in southern portions of Deming. Power poles and lines also down which cutoff power to Columbus.
Scattered power and phone lines were down throughout Deming.
About 3 inches of rain fell within an hour over already-saturated ground in the western portion of Deming. Major street flooding occurred, with most roads closed west of Highway 11. This same area was under 2 to 3 feet of water which entered homes and businesses. Power was out in the majority of the city as water logged power poles were easily knocked over by 45 mph wind gusts.
Winds estimated at 65 mph knocked out power, toppled two large trees and closed the interstate (due to low visibility from blowing dust) in and around Deming.
Three trees were blown down (one of them uprooted) and 2 power poles knocked over near Peru Mill at the northwest edge of Deming. Low level moisture had retreated further east resulting in a dry microburst from a high based thunderstorm.
Episodes
A line of strong to severe thunderstorms moved from northeast to southwest across southern NM with damaging winds and large hail. Trees were downed and a mobile home flipped near Garfield, while 1 1/4 inch diameter hail fell west of Hillsboro. Winds estimated at 60 mph lowered visibilities to near zero causing state police to close Interstate 10 east of Deming. Arroyo flooding led to the closure of Highway 180 northwest of Deming. Finally, as the storms began to exit the southern border of New Mexico, winds blew power poles down in Columbus while wind-driven nickel size hail covered the ground and cracked numerous car windshields.
