Over 200 Homes Damaged In New Mexico From Deadly Flooding

1 day ago Officials in southern New Mexico say the number of homes destroyed and damaged by a deadly flash flood will only rise as crews survey more neighborhoods in the mountain village of Ruidoso. They put the tally at least 200 on Thursday, saying that could double as more damage assessments are conducted in the coming days. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham says her office has received partial approval for a federal emergency declaration that includes personnel to help with search and rescue efforts and incident management. The uncle of two children who died in the flooding recounts the family's fateful struggle.
