King tides are caused by the gravitational pull and alignments of the Earth, the moon and the sun — they can last several days.

No deaths have been reported in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, though power supplies have been disrupted and some train and flight services have been canceled.

Damage in New Mexico alone, after more than four days of flooding, could total $300 million, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said.

One death was reported in Santa Fe, New Mexico, over the weekend during a water rescue of a family who tried to cross a flooded area in their vehicle.

Crews in New Mexico scoured evacuated neighborhoods Sunday for dead animals, downed power lines and other hazards left in the aftermath.

At least a couple hundred people needed rescue since rains picked up Wednesday and flooding culminated Thursday and Friday.

The flooding followed two months of heavy rains in the region where the boundaries of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet.

At one point a super typhoon and one of the strongest storms in the Pacific this year, Champi was still packing gusts of around 119 mph near its center, weather officials said.

Tornado watches were issued for multiple areas — the first for the state since October 2010.

Strong winds and coastal flooding are possible, but the storm is expected to stay far enough offshore that it will affect only the easternmost parts of the country.
