A post-fire ‘nightmare’ in New Mexico: Eight floods in four weeks
Ruidoso, a scenic town of nearly 8,000 in southern New Mexico, is at the mercy of an enduring, double-barreled disaster
Studies suggest climate change is increasing the risk that severe rainfall comes in the wake of wildfires. Increasingly hot and dry conditions breed fiercer blazes. Warming air can also hold more moisture, leading to more intense storms
I am passing on a personal (Facebook) testimony from a Ruidoso survivor about flooding, personal safety, decision making, and how the village is getting flooded again and again.
==================
My family minus Melissa almost died today...... Before I go into my story- I want to explain something... As you all know my parents live in Ruidoso and there was a fire... Thankfully we got them out and some of their stuff..... The fire came within 1/4 of a mile from the house.. Thank God their house did not burn... The day I was moving my parents back, a huge flood came and caused significant damage to areas of Ruidoso... My parents house was ok.. I went back and fourth the past month putting up sand bags and trying to keep the house safe.... There were at least 10 floods this past month and no sign of the flood coming near there house...
(continued...)
I'm not into disaster porn.
I post these stories because they could happen to any of us. It will not play out in the same way in the details. But there is a common thread going through stories like this: people are caught entirely by surprise.
Maybe reading about these unfortunate people's experiences will inspire the rest of us to think about our own situation, and what we can do to minimise the risk.

"Two massive fires broke out last month along the mountains encircling the town, torching more than 25,000 acres, burning nearly a thousand homes and killing two people. Then, eight times and counting since June 21, including Saturday, floodwaters have cascaded down those same mountainsides into the village."
