What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A regional storm impacted the Four Corners region, including Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County, beginning last Wednesday as Hurricane Trudy dissipated inland. The storm caused major flood damage in communities like Pagosa Springs, and many roads in Archuleta County remained impassable days later. At Fun Valley Family Resort, the Rio Grande overflowed, crushing tiny homes and large trailers, and debris clogged a bridge over the river.
