New Mexico Flash Floods: Home Swept Away by Raging River in Ruidoso
RUIDOSO, NEW MEXICO – A home was dramatically swept away by raging flash floods in Ruidoso, New Mexico, on Tuesday, as heavy rains caused the Ruidoso River to swell to unprecedented levels. Footage captured from a nearby vantage point shows the residential structure being dislodged from its foundation and carried downstream by the powerful, muddy currents. According to data from the USGS, water levels in the 30-mile-long Ruidoso River, located approximately 150 miles southeast of Albuquerque, were reported as "extremely above" their historic daily averages on Tuesday evening. The severe flooding has caused significant damage to the area, with the video serving as a stark illustration of the natural disaster's destructive force. Local authorities have not yet released full details on the extent of property damage or any potential injuries, but residents are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety advisories as floodwaters continue to impact the region.
