Torrential rain ravages Estancia valley and nearby draws
A heavy Friday and Sunday storm drenched the Estancia valley north and west of town. Arroyos swelled to river-like torrents, with near drownings in Holges Draw as a Sutton girl and horse were rescued. Paup and Richart near-misses ended with a rampaging meadow flood. Dr Boyd was stranded briefly but returned safely. Damage offset by late crops turning to feed. two-year comparison shows earlier crops may still mature.
