New Mexico Floods Kill at Least 3
Torrential floods hit southern New Mexico and killed at least three people, days after historic floods devastated central Texas. A summer storm hit Rio Ruidoso Tuesday, overwhelming the mountain village of Ruidoso. The three people killed—an adult man, a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl—were caught in the rushing water and swept downstream, according to the village. Dozens of people were rescued as the river swelled to a record-high of 20 feet.

3 Dead as Flash Flooding Hits Mountain Village of Ruidoso in New Mexico, Officials Say
Three people have died in a mountain village in southern New Mexico that is a popular summer retreat after monsoon rains triggered flash flooding that was so intense an entire house was swept downstream, officials said. A man and two children were swept away Tuesday by floodwaters, the village of Ruidoso said in a statement. Emergency crews carried out at least 85 swift water rescues in the Ruidoso area, including of people who were trapped in their homes and cars, said Danielle Silva of the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. The water had receded by Tuesday night, and search and rescue and swift water rescue teams were scouring the town for the missing people while public works crews cleared debris from the roadways. Some cars were left stranded in the mud. Peipert reported from Denver. Associated Press writers Matt Brown in Denver, Hallie Golden in Seattle, Susan Montoya Bryan in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Hannah Schoenbaum in Salt Lake City contributed to this report.
