Dramatic New Mexico flooding time-lapse videos show power of raging river
RUIDOSO, N.M. – At least three people, including two children, have been killed when catastrophic flooding tore through the community of Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Tuesday, and dramatic time-lapse videos provide a horrific look at just how fast the water rose. Ruidoso officials said the victims were an adult male, a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. They were swept downstream by the historic flooding that occurred in a burn scar area from recent wildfires in New Mexico.

Geological Survey (USGS) shows the Rio Ruidoso rising fast as torrential rain fell over the region.

Multiple earthquakes kill 2 people in Guatemala, cause landslides and evacuations
A series of dozens of earthquakes were recorded in the span of hours in Guatemala, leaving two dead when rocks fell on their vehicle, authorities said. Landslides left several others buried. More than 37 earthquakes and aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 3.0 to 5.6 were reported in Guatemala Tuesday afternoon, said Edwin Rodas, director of the National Institute for Seismology, Vulcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology. The tremors resulted in the evacuation of buildings, landslides, and minor property damage, officials said, adding they were felt as far away as El Salvador. The two men killed were traveling in a pickup truck on a local road in the department of Escuintla when the rocks fell from a hillside onto the vehicle, firefighters said. Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo said at a press conference Tuesday that the main epicenter of the quakes was in the department of Sacatepéquez, with aftershocks in the regions of Escuintla and Guatemala department. At least five people were buried by landslides, but emergency responders were able to rescue two, he added. The National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction declared an orange alert, the second-highest on the emergency scale. The U.S. Geological Survey reported a 4.8 magnitude earthquake at 3:11 p.m. local time, 2.5 miles southwest of the town of Amatitlán, south of Guatemala City, with a depth of 6 miles. It then reported another 5.7 magnitude quake 2 miles northwest of San Vicente Pacaya, a municipality in Escuintla, in the south-central region of the country. Another 4.8 magnitude quake was reported 4 miles northwest of Palín, also in Escuintla.
