ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico mountain village prepared Wednesday for another round of monsoon rains as crews scrambled to dig out from a historic flash flood that killed three people, damaged dozens of homes and left streets and culverts clogged with mud and debris.
A man, a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy were swept away from an RV park along the Rio Ruidoso as floodwaters raged through the area Tuesday afternoon. The bodies were found downstream from the park at a distance between 1/4 of a mile and 2 miles (3 kilometers).
