Not really sure what to say about this other then ....Odd that I have not seen or heard much on this and wanted to put it out there and see what others think or know

Officials tour ‘unbelievable’ deadly flood damage in Roswell following historic rainfall - LINK

“The damage is unbelievable,” Jennings said. He said the two flood control dams to the west, did their jobs and caught flooding from the river. It was the rainfall in town that caused the damages. Floodwaters were recorded as five to six feet high in much of downtown

At least 2 dead and hundreds rescued in severe New Mexico flash flooding - LINK

I wondered how this could not be reported as well so I went to google and found that

NBC was reporting. it at the time, ABC as well, and CNN also did reports on the flooding

I also easily found that CBS had reported it as well as Associated Press and USA today and MSN

yeahbut how was their reporting "prioritized" and/or "sensationalized" ? 😁

Was it like "page 20" style ? Or was it front page special edition style?

ya I seen others reported on it....as to why I said I could Search and find but again wasn't seeing it out there like Headline News .....as Xuenchen said how was it being prioritized

Why? How do you think it should have been prioritized. Do you think this was being hidden from the rest of the nation. I mean you seem suspicious of something here but I can't make out what it is.

For one thing there had just been only a few weeks before tons of national news on flooding and destruction. That though had been foreseen and all those national desks used it from before, during and after to sell their papers and news reports. That''s how they work right?

This one though apparently hit with little warning. The dams held as expected but the rainfall was torrential. So no on scene national news crews, just the local news folk doing their jobs.
