At least three people were killed in the treacherous flood waters streaming through the mountain village on Ruidoso, New Mexico, which also knocked an entire home from its foundations and swept it

At least three people have died as a result of severe flash flooding that swept through a south-central New Mexico resort town on Tuesday afternoon. The devastating floods left people trapped in homes and prompted dozens of water rescues in Ruidoso, officials said.

Flash flooding hit Ruidoso and caused widespread damage and claimed the lives for three people. As flash flooding began, KOAT viewer Jesus Figueroa filmed a wall of water flowing down the Rio Ruidoso as the flash flood began.
