Three related drought refugee families stalled on the highway near Lordsburg, New Mexico. From farms near Claremore, Oklahoma. Have been working as migratory workers in Calfornia and Arizona, now trying to get to Roswell, New Mexico, for work chopping cotton. Have car trouble and pulled up alongside the highway. "Would go back to Oklahoma but can't get along there. Can't feed the kids on what they give you (relief budget) and ain't made a crop there you might say for five years. Only other work there is fifty cents a day wages and the farmers can't pay it anyways." One of these families has lost two babies since they left their home in Oklahoma. The children, seventeen months and three years, died in the county hospital at Shafter California, from typhoid fever, resulting from unsanitary conditions in a labor camp

The image depicts three vintage automobiles parked on an unpaved road with two individuals standing next to them. The setting appears to be in a rural area, possibly during the Dust Bowl era of droughts and economic difficulties in the United States. This black-and-white photograph captures a moment from Three related drought refugee families stalled on the highway near Lordsburg, New Mexico. These people were likely seeking work or trying to relocate due to harsh conditions caused by prolonged dry spells across agricultural regions like Oklahoma. The individuals are wearing hats and coats, suggesting it might be cold weather. The family in question had been working as migratory workers in California and Arizona but now sought opportunities in Roswell, New Mexico, for jobs such as chopping cotton. They faced challenges related to transportation issues with their vehicle and the lack of economic stability due to meager wages and insufficient relief budgets provided by local authorities or governments. The narrative highlights the struggles these families encountered during a particularly difficult time in American history when many farmers lost crops and struggled economically because of droughts, which had lasting effects on communities across multiple states. The mention of losing two babies suggests that their challenges extended beyond economic hardships to include health crises as well.

FEMA Flood zone along Main Street in Roswell, NM, where the Ford used car/truck dealership was overcome by water. Hopefully all the folks in that orange area (flood risk) had FEMA flood insurance, as they are in a risk zone of some sort (Update: Orange is Flood Risk X: Area of minimal flood hazard, above 500 year flood level, protected from 100 year flood) #Roswell #NMwx #flooding #ExtremeFlood #FEMA
