So much rain the McLeod Dam in southern New Mexico is on the brink of failing. The National Weather Service issuing a rare flash flood emergency for areas downstream of the dam.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"transcript-cue\">\n                                <strong class=\"transcript-cue__speaker\">DISPATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>00:00:44<\/p>\n<p class=\"transcript-cue__text\">Going to be able to get the guy off the truck.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"transcript-cue\">\n                                <strong class=\"transcript-cue__speaker\">ROB MARCIANO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>00:00:46<\/p>\n<p class=\"transcript-cue__text\">In Arizona, a dramatic rescue as a man stranded in floodwaters desperately clung to his truck. It was one of more than 60 flash floods reported across the Southwest in the last 24 hours, leaving roads washed out and residents bracing for more. I want to make sure I put some sandbags around when the rain starts creating&#8211; where the water goes and starts creating sinkholes, and I&#8217;m just trying to prevent that.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"transcript-cue\">\n                                <strong class=\"transcript-cue__speaker\">ROB MARCIANO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>00:01:12<\/p>\n<p class=\"transcript-cue__text\">The excess water being fed by Hurricane Polo as it came ashore today in northern Mexico, driving inland with damaging winds and rainfall rates as high as 4 inches per hour. That hurricane at one point a category 5 storm, so it&#8217;s got a ton of moisture. Combining with yet another storm, so we&#8217;ll go through that. Doesn&#8217;t spell good news for this area, nor a good chunk of the country. So we&#8217;ve got flash flood warnings, over a dozen of them in effect right now across New Mexico and Arizona. Even a severe thunderstorm warning in there as well, I-25 to I-10. And then really these flash flood watches extend over 1,200 miles. Even the precip shield goes beyond Des Moines. Will be in Chicago before you know it. So here&#8217;s how things will roll out. The most intense rain for New Mexico will be tonight. And then look at Dallas and the I-35 corridor tomorrow night into the early morning hours. Those could be severe, and they will have an intense amount of rainfall as well because not only have Polo. We&#8217;ve got an upper-level low in the Four Corners tapping moisture from the Gulf, too. So 4 to 6 inches of rainfall. It looks like it&#8217;s going to be a very wet week ahead for a big chunk of the country. Tony. All right, Rob, thank you very much.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/flash-flooding-southwest-overwhelming-new-mexico-dam-brink-failing\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROB MARCIANO: 00:00:30 Torrential rains triggering more flash flooding today in the Southwest.
