HEAVY RAIN LEAVES ITS MARK ON SANTA CLARA PUEBLO OVER THE WEEKEND. ON SATURDAY, SANTA CLARA CANYON GOT MORE THAN TWO INCHES, SENDING A NINE FOOT WALL OF WATER DOWNSTREAM TO THE PUEBLO ITSELF. NO HOMES WERE DAMAGED AND THERE WERE NO RELATED INJURIES … BUT THERE'S EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN THE CANYON.
CREWS ON MONDAY ARE SENDING IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT TO CLEAR OUT THE DEBRIS. THE TRIBAL SHERIFF PLANS TO ASK THE PUEBLO'S GOVERNOR TO DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY SO THEY CAN GET FUNDS TO HELP WITH CLEANUP EFFORTS.
