WE COULD SOON GET ANOTHER ROUND OF INTENSE STORMS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO AREA, SO PNM IS ADVISING EVERYONE TO BE READY THIS TIME. THAT MEANS STOCKING UP ON NON-PERISHABLE FOODS, FLASHLIGHTS AND BATTERIES. PNM ALSO SAYS YOU SHOULD HAVE A PLAN IN PLACE ON HOW YOU'LL DEAL WITH A MAJOR STORM.
THE STORM LAST FRIDAY KNOCKED OUT POWER TO ABOUT 32 THOUSAND PNM CUSTOMERS IN ALBUQUERQUE, THE EAST MOUNTAINS, RIO RANCHO, CORRALES, AND SANDOVAL AND VALENCIA COUNTIES. MANY DIDN'T HAVE THEIR ELECTRICITY RESTORED UNTIL TUESDAY THIS WEEK, MEANING A LOT OF FOOD IN REFRIGERATORS WENT BAD.
FRIDAY'S STORM WAS THE WORST STORM RECORDED IN RECENT HISTORY FOR ALBUQUERQUE.
