Uninsured and flooded out, a Colorado man worries if life will be normal again

EDITH, Colorado – Matthew Martinez has lived nearly all of his 60 years in a canyon on the Navajo River and had never seen severe floods. Then, twice over the last two weeks, the river surged through his home and outbuildings in far southwestern Colorado, about 25 miles south of the resort town of Pagosa Springs. Now a horse is missing, his barn is damaged and the river swallowed a corral. The house is strewn with mud. His tools washed downstream.

Historic flooding in southwest Colorado

The Colorado Congressional delegation has asked President Trump to respond to Gov. Jared Polis’s request for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration following devastating and historic flooding and debris flows in southwestern Colorado and the San Luis Valley. The delegation said the request pertains to the initial flooding on Oct. 22-25, the plea came in the midst of a second catastrophic flooding event across the same region, which adds urgency to their request. These impacts, they wrote, are compounded by the damaging flooding in October 2025, which have seriously strained available resources for recovery for previously affected communities.

Wet Snow Possible Around Monument Hill, Colorado Springs, Walsenburg and Trinidad as Rain Changes Over in a Fast Moving Storm Across Southern Colorado, With Slushy Accumulation on Grass

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO — A fast-moving storm is sweeping across southern Colorado, and some areas could see rain change over to wet snow tonight, Thursday, November 5. Forecasters give it about a 30 percent chance that rain turns to snow around Monument Hill, across northern El Paso County, and over the Raton Mesa near Walsenburg and Trinidad. Because the storm is moving quickly, any slushy accumulation should stay mostly on grassy surfaces, not on roads. Radar already shows snow falling in the central mountains, rain across the Arkansas River Valley, and a rain and snow mix in between.

Flood warnings on the Purgatoire, Arkansas Rivers: an inch and a half of rain on the wettest ground in a century

Two rivers in southeast Colorado carried flood warnings into Friday morning, and neither of them was fed by the mountains. The Purgatoire River near Las Animas crested at 10.46 feet about 2 p.m. Thursday, a foot and a half over minor flood stage, after rising from a trickle in a few hours before dawn. The Arkansas River at Lamar passed bankfull at 10.14 feet just after midnight Friday, with Prowers County emergency management reporting water in low ground along the river Thursday afternoon. The cause was a single night of rain, Wednesday into Thursday, that fell on ground still soaked from the wettest October the lower Arkansas Valley has recorded.
