Navajo River Swamps Colorado Man's Home Twice in Two Weeks
Matthew Martinez has spent nearly all of his 60 years on the Navajo River in far southwestern Colorado and had never seen severe flooding there — until now. In just two weeks, the river surged through his home and outbuildings twice, according to the AP.
Matthew Martinez has called the same patch of land along the Navajo River home for nearly all of his 60 years. In that time, he had never seen severe flooding there. Then the water came — twice.
According to The Associated Press, the Navajo River surged through Martinez's home and outbuildings twice in just two weeks. The property sits in far southwestern Colorado.
Two separate surges in a single fortnight is what makes this notable. A river that had never delivered severe flooding to his doorstep in six decades suddenly did it back to back.
The AP reported that Martinez's home and outbuildings were hit both times. Beyond that, the outlet did not detail damage estimates or what comes next for him.
