Severe flooding shuts down all roads in and out of Roswell, New Mexico
ROSWELL, New Mexico (KVIA) — Roswell experienced severe flooding early Sunday morning after a storm system moved through the region Saturday night.
An image taken early Sunday courtesy of the city’s live cameras showed several inches flooding the streets of Downtown Roswell. Much of that flooding has since cleared, although roads still appear to be slick.
New Mexico State Police posted on X around 1:40 a.m. that “All roads in and out of Roswell, NM are closed due to heavy flooding, at this time.”
The NM Roads website shows roads remain closed off. We will update you when they reopen.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima, who ran for governor as a Democrat and then as an independent, is endorsing Republican Gregg Hull.
Miyagishima ended his bid for New Mexico governor after weighing a Supreme Court appeal to stay on the ballot.
Miyagishima said on Friday he decided not to pursue an appeal to the Supreme Court over his ballot status.
“I have known Mayor Hull for almost 12 years. He is intelligent, hardworking, and a man of integrity. His record reflects his dedication to the people of both Rio Rancho and New Mexico,” Miyagishima said. “My goal is to help transform Mayor Hull into Governor Hull, deliver for the southwestern part of our state, and close the gap in our Native American communities. I am eager to mobilize support in southern New Mexico and our native lands for our future governor, Gregg Hull!”
Hull called the endorsement a sign of shared priorities as the governor’s race moves forward.
“Ken’s support demonstrates our shared commitment to the people of New Mexico,” Hull said. “Together, we will tackle the challenges in our communities, stimulate our economy, and ensure that every New Mexican has a voice in government.”
Hull is running against Democrat Deb Haaland, the former Secretary of the Interior.
