Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Flooding was reported on several streets in Deming with up to a foot of water covering some low lying areas in town.

The wider storm

A deep trough was located through the Great Basin south into an area just west of Baja. Southwest flow ahead of this system tapped into some of the Baja moisture and with the slow movement of the system allowed a heavy rain band to setup across Luna County and produce some urban flooding.

Began near Deming (32.2756, -107.7869).
