Record-breaking flood sweeps the Little Colorado River communities

The Little Colorado River rose to a record level at Winslow early Monday and Navajo County ordered residents of Ames Acres and Bushman Acres to evacuate as the river pressed against the levee that protects the south side of town. Several adjacent areas were asked to prepare for potential evacuation. The National Weather Service in Flagstaff said the gauge at Winslow stood at 24.59 feet at 10 a.m., more than five feet above the 19-foot flood stage and above the previous record of 22.12 feet set in March 2023. The weather service said the levee is overtopped at 25 feet, bringing major flooding to portions of Winslow including Ames Acres and Bushman Acres and that further rises above major flood stage were forecast through Monday afternoon as water continued to arrive from upstream.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
