新墨西哥州当局表示，周三凌晨纳瓦霍族保留地发生洪灾，三人被洪水冲走后身亡。
部落警察于凌晨12点30分左右接到报案，称新墨西哥州西北部纽科姆社区附近有人被冲走。报案前一天当地遭遇暴雨，道路及其他区域因积水被淹，夜间又迎来了新一轮降雨。
搜救人员抵达现场后找到了两名成人及一名儿童的遗体。当局未透露案件细节，仅表示目前正在对这起溺水事件展开调查。
纳瓦霍族保留地主席布·尼格伦表达了哀悼，并感谢应急人员在恶劣且危险的条件下彻夜搜救失踪人员。
“没有任何话语能抚平突然失去亲人的痛苦，得知有三条生命就此逝去，我们的心情格外沉重，”尼格伦在社交媒体发文称。“对于今日沉浸在悲痛中的家属、亲人和所爱之人，我们致以最深切的哀悼。”
阿尔伯克基的国家气象局周二发布特别简报，警告未来数日当地将出现多场大范围雷暴。该机构周三再次重申预警，指出9月中旬的湿度预计将接近历史峰值。
纳瓦霍警察局发布了多张受损及被淹道路的照片，表示部分街道“目前无法通行，驾驶员不应尝试穿过封闭路段”。

预报显示，包括新墨西哥州、亚利桑那州、犹他州和科罗拉多州在内的四角地区，降雨将持续至周四。
据哥伦比亚广播公司下属电视台KRQE报道，新墨西哥州整体的活跃季风模式预计将持续至周六，仍有遭遇暴雨和山洪的风险。在亚利桑那州，气象部门已为该州中部和北部大部分地区发布山洪预警。
尼格伦也呼吁居民格外谨慎。
“情况可能会迅速变化，流动的洪水非常危险——哪怕是在我们熟悉的地方，”他说。“没有任何目的地值得你或同行同伴冒生命危险。”
纳瓦霍族保留地的这起三人死亡事件发生在几周前大峡谷洪灾之后，当时暴雨导致布赖特天使峡谷出现激流，三名徒步旅行者被冲走，另有数十人获救。

Three people are dead after being swept away by floodwaters early Wednesday on the Navajo Nation, authorities in New Mexico said.
Tribal police officers received a report around 12:30 a.m. about people being washed away near the community of Newcomb in northwestern New Mexico. The report followed a day of heavy rain that left roadways and other areas flooded with standing water. More rain followed during the overnight hours.
Search crews responded and found the bodies of two adults and a child. Authorities did not release any details about the circumstances, other than saying the drownings were under investigation.
Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren offered his condolences and thanked first responders for working through the night in difficult and dangerous conditions as they searched for the people.
“There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a loved one so suddenly, and our hearts are especially heavy knowing that three lives were lost,” Nygren said in a social media post. “To the family, relatives, and loved ones who are grieving today, we offer our deepest condolences.”
The National Weather Service in Albuquerque issued a special briefing on Tuesday, warning that numerous and widespread thunderstorms were expected over the coming days. The organization reiterated warnings again Wednesday, noting that moisture levels were expected to be near record levels for mid-September.
The Navajo Police Department released images of multiple damaged, flooded roads, saying some streets “are currently impassable and drivers should not attempt to travel through the closure.”

Excessive rainfall was predicted through Thursday for areas throughout the Four Corners region, which includes New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado.
Across New Mexico, an active monsoon pattern was forecast to continue through Saturday, bringing a threat for heavy rain and flash flooding, CBS affiliate KRQE reported. In Arizona, forecasters issued a flash flood watch for much of the central and northern parts of that state.
Nygren joined in asking residents to exercise extreme caution.
“Conditions can change quickly, and moving water can be dangerous-even in places we know well,” he said. “No destination is worth risking your life or the lives of those traveling with you.”
The three deaths on the Navajo Nation follow flooding just weeks ago at the Grand Canyon, where three hikers were swept away and dozens more were rescued after heavy rain brought torrents of water through Bright Angel Creek.
