Heavy rain Tuesday afternoon in Gallup, New Mexico, and the surrounding area caused strong flooding for several hours.
The storm also produced dangerous lightning, including a discharge that struck a downtown building on the corner of Coal Avenue and Third Street, igniting a fire.
That's according to Gallup Fire Department spokesman Andrew Laweka, who said crews responded to a 1:50 p.m. alarm at the site and encountered a fire in the second floor of the building.
No injuries were reported according to Laweka, who said a full investigation should be completed by Wednesday afternoon.
On an unrelated note, University of New Mexico-Gallup was closed as of noon Tuesday due to a water outage.
According to an electronic alert, the campus will close Wednesday at 9 a.m. due to an ongoing water outage. Updates will be shared via email as they become available.
Students, faculty and staff should call 505-863-7500 for more information on Thursday.
