Floods in New Mexico
-
They have to do everything bigger over there, don't they
My thoughts are with them in seriousness, I think I read there'd been several deaths already yesterday 🙁 -
I just saw the story. NMNeill, I hope you are not affected, but if you are, here's hoping it's not too bad and you recover quickly.

Seconding these thoughts @NMNeil - looks like there's about 75 miles between Roswell (which I think is where he is) to Ruidoso, mentioned in the report - so not that far in the grand scheme of things, America's vastness being considered.
Take care! -
Thanks for all your concerns, but no we're fine.
We would often visit the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, and if you are ever round this way it's well worth a visit.

But this latest flood is mind numbing with a river rising 18 feet, not inches in 45 minutes. Ruidoso as you can see is up in the mountains so they get a fair bit of rain anyway, but nothing like this
Down here in Roswell we live in a desert, so we're not used to so much water at any one time either, but it now seems to be a common occurrence.
