Santa Fe HIT by Rare 110 MPH Tornado – 1,500+ HOMES DAMAGED (Latest Updates)

Santa Fe, New Mexico, Tornado: EF1 Winds Hit 110 MPH as Deadly Flash Flooding Claims a Life A rare tornado tore through midtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, on October 24, damaging 10 homes with winds reaching 110 miles per hour. The National Weather Service rated the tornado EF1, but its short, violent path left damaged roofs, snapped power poles, fallen trees, and families facing a difficult cleanup. Officials say no tornado-related injuries had been reported as of October 26. The storm brought a more deadly threat north of the city, where a woman died after floodwaters swept her away while a family attempted to cross a flooded arroyo. Emergency crews also responded to swift-water rescue calls as intense rainfall triggered flash flooding across New Mexico, including widespread damage in San Juan County. In this video, we examine the tornado's eight-minute path through Santa Fe, firsthand accounts from residents, the fatal flash-flood incident, and the wider storm system that damaged homes across northern New Mexico. We also look at the role of tropical moisture and possible El Niño influence, along with the forecast for additional storms later in the week. Cleanup continued Monday as officials assessed damage and families began documenting losses for insurance claims. With more rain possible over already saturated ground, damaged neighborhoods and normally dry desert channels could face renewed risks. Confirmed casualty and missing-person figures are pinned in the comments and updated as official numbers change.
