The National Weather Service has declared a flash flood emergency and is advising residents of Ruidoso in New Mexico to be on high alert as the village experiences intense flooding.
“Stay away from the river! Seek higher ground NOW!” they wrote.
Multiple rescues are under way at Gavilan Trailer Park and houses are reportedly being washed away.

FReeptards: "Trump's Fault! He controls the weather!"
Which is the greater sin?
Terrifying and heartbreaking!
Wait a minute ... Dick Cheney doesn't control the weather anymore?
Isn’t that the area that was hit by wildfires?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fire scar.
Gee, and the Gavilan RV park was just getting rebuilt and repopulated after being totally wiped out in the last big fire.
My old house is near Gavilan Canyon; The current owner says all is OK there, but it is impossible to get around town: every river, creek and ravine crossing is closed.
I was planning on making my monthly supply run to Ruidoso tomorrow or the next day, but I guess I better put it off a few more days. Hopefully Hondo Valley didn’t get washed out too.
Exactly. I went through Ruidoso 2 weeks ago. The hills are bare around much of the town. This is pure flash flooding as a result.
Redundant.
Yes, by multipoint arson on a day with no lightning.... and they never arrested them.
Welcome to the Desert Monsoon
Thanks for the ping. This is horrible. Prayers for them.
Kind of like Rio Grande River.
Source was BBC, so they can be excused ‘cause they have only had contact with Spain for 1000+ years.
New Mexico was hit two weeks ago. Ruidoso, Roswell, Albuquerque and now Ruidoso again.
Trump’s Fault...........right?
