...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR SOUTH FORK BURN SCAR...

The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  The South Fork burn scar in...
  Northern Otero in south central New Mexico...

* Until 400 PM MDT.

* At 148 PM MDT, emergency management reported thunderstorms 
  producing heavy rain over the South Fork Burn Scar. Between 0.5 
  and 1 inch of rain has fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 
  to 0.8 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is 
  already occurring.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will result in debris flow 
moving through the Rio Ruidoso. The debris flow can consist of rock, 
mud, vegetation and other loose materials.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for South Fork Burn Scar. This is 
  a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms
           producing flash flooding in and around the South Fork
           Burn Scar.

  SOURCE...Emergency management reported.

  IMPACT...This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK
           HIGHER GROUND NOW! IMMEDIATE EVACUATION for areas in
           and around the South Fork Burn Scar.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  mainly rural areas of Northern Otero

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause 
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks...streams...and 
ditches in the South Fork Burn Scar. Severe debris flows can also be 
anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may be washed away in 
places. If you encounter flood waters...climb to safety.

Move to higher ground now! This is an extremely dangerous and 
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are 
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

Move away from recently burned areas. Life-threatening flooding of 
creeks, roads and normally dry arroyos is likely. The heavy rains 
will likely trigger rockslides, mudslides and debris flows in steep 
terrain, especially in and around these areas.
