If you're driving today, plan for detours. Heavy rain since Saturday evening has damaged roads at seven locations, the city says, and public works crews are assessing the damage. City officials say the washouts are not sinkholes, though the Laredo Morning Times reports crews responding to sinkholes and a sanitary sewer overflow.

Police barricaded flood-prone streets and ask you to find another route, since many other streets can flood without being reported yet. A crossing on Mines Road in Las Cruces closed Sunday.
