On Thursday just after work many Alamogordo citizens were greeted to a microburst weather event which caused havac to the local community. The microburst burst began at approximately 6:38 and ended at 6:50.
A microburst is a localized, intense downburst of air, usually associated with thunderstorms, that can cause strong winds and wind shear, posing a significant hazard to aircraft. These events are short-lived, typically lasting only a few minutes, and can be difficult to predict.
The result of this microburst was a power outage to over 2000 businesses and homes and roof damage to S & T bait and tackle at the Granada Center resulting in a roof collapse. The Alamogordo Fire Department was rushed to the scene and had to enter the rubble and shut off the building gas to ensure no explosions. This was a dangerous task for executed quickly and successfully.
The mayor and city leaders were nearby in a public workshop at the civic center during the weather event.
Mayor Payne spoke to Alamogordo Town News concerning this event and the planned protest and can be heard via the link below...

where's neighbor john baake - to explain to us that contamination of natural resources really isn't that big a deal....and besides, it's a safe distance from where HE lives.
You must mean thank you to the professional lobbyists, because I'm not finding any professional scientist's or doctors involved in any of these decisions.
of course not - dear leader/elon musk/and the doge boys have cleaned out anyone who had legitimate credentials....nothing left here but worshippers of the orange overlord.
the trump regime is always looking for ways to ****** the rug out from under deserving citizens - so they can stabilize the precarious situation that our poor deserving billionaires find themselves in.
another shout out to our elected state office holders for going to bat for the everyday people of new mexico!
If Senator Martin Heinrich spear headed this legislation, that spear must've ended up in a cow somewhere around Clovis, because it never made it to D.C.
According to the Congressional record, the bill was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio, and co-sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, both of Florida.
another amazingly foolish statement on your part, neighbor.
Gotta love these activists, complaining that the area has passed from defacto control by para-military drug cartels, with orders to shoot anyone they see on site. To control by the US military with orders to warn and detain.
three cheers for the "escalation in the trump administration policy of militarization of the borderlands". most good americans always wanted to live inside a military zone - just like all the germans in post war berlin...and the delightful 38th parallel in korea.
Could it be much worse than living in or next to a national park, forest, or monument? Or even worse, a state park, forest, or wild life reserve?
The Federal and state land grabs have been astronomical in terms of the sheer amount of acreage seized.
