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

Extreme Weather Colorado Southwest Flooding One Family's Loss Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Matthew Martinez has lived nearly all of his 60 years in a canyon on the Navajo River and never saw severe floods. Then twice over the last two weeks the river surged through his home and outbuildings in far southwestern Colorado , about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of the resort town of Pagosa Springs. Now he's missing a horse, his barn is damaged and the river swallowed a corral. The house is strewn with mud. His tools washed downstream. “We’re in trouble, all of us are. Not just me, everybody,” Martinez said through tears during his first visit back on Wednesday. He said several families that go back 100 years in the same canyon had similar damage. “Nobody expected this.” The Navajo, San Juan and Animas rivers were just a few of the streams to surge beyond their banks when round after round of storms dumped heavy rain across the Four Corners region of Arizona , Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Scientists say a supercharged El Niño event — when warm water in the Pacific disrupts weather patterns — is making heavy rains

Southwestern Colorado Assesses Widespread Destruction After Back-to-Back Historic Floods

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. — Emergency management officials across southwestern Colorado are conducting aerial and ground assessments this week after two historic autumn storms battered the Four Corners region in little more than a week, washing away homes, buckling highways, and stretching local rescue resources thin, according to The Colorado Sun. In Pagosa Springs, the San Juan River crested at roughly 15 feet during an late-October atmospheric river event before surging to nearly 17 feet during a second deluge on November 2, undermining half the foundation of the Pagosa Springs Museum and sweeping at least one riverside home downstream.

Dry Stretch Opens a Harvest Window Across Bismarck, Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines and Denver as Little to No Rain Settles Over the Northern and Central Plains

DES MOINES, IOWA — Farmers across the Northern and Central Plains are getting the break they have been waiting for. A prolonged stretch of dry weather is expected from November 6 to 13, with little to no rainfall across a large part of the country’s farm belt. The dry window covers North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa and eastern Colorado, including Bismarck, Minneapolis, Omaha, Des Moines and Denver. Forecasters say it should give farmers a favorable window to finish remaining harvest operations after a wet start to November slowed fieldwork.
