I agree, but I didn’t see that happening on here. No need to incite it on this thread.

You run no deeper than a sidewalk sports fan. High on righteousness and the thrill of finally belonging, while you’re out here poisoning all of our oak trees.

Give me Fire, flood, hurricane all day over that shite.

I’ve cruised too much social media over the past week and it’s all I’ve seen.

The horse track got washed out on Sunday. It was already high water from any kind of tributary, and raining hard then
No, we went to the races on Sunday - there was a delay between the first and second race because water was approaching the track, but the races resumed after about a 20 minute delay and all ten races were run. It was Monday when the high water came.

Lots of culverts and roads are washed away in July in the mountainous parts of New Mexico annually, otherwise dry as a bone. It's definitely that way in the Gallup area.

Holy hell man. That’s crazy. Was anyone inside?
The ones in TX had people inside their own house floating down the river. Crazy.
When a house floats downstream and ends up in front of someone elses house who is responsible for removing it? Original owners insurance, Corp of Engineers (since I assume it is a navigable waterway) or the insurance of the person with a house stuck the their river bank?

I believe it reverts to original American Finders, Keepers rules of 1779.

Wonder what crazed leftist will start screaming climate change without checking history? it is like there are weather cycles or something. Similar to the 1987 flooding on the Guadalupe.
A History of Floods
and Flood Problems
in New Mexico 2003
LINK
2. Principal Flood Problems: Excessive runoff of the Rio Ruidoso is the principal cause of flooding in Ruidoso. The Rio Ruidoso is a perennial river which flows approximately 6 miles through the village in an easterly direction. The source of the Rio Ruidoso is on the eastern slope
of Sierra Blanca at an elevation of nearly 12,000 feet. The drainage area at the Hollywood gaging station is 125 square miles.
NM Flood History 35 September 2003
Excessive flow in the tributaries of the Rio Ruidoso causes the remaining flood problems in the community. The major tributaries to the Rio Ruidoso from upstream to downstream are: Brady Canyon, an intermittent stream which flows southeasterly; Carrizo Creek, a perennial stream which rises on the southeast slope of Sierra Blanca, then flows to the northeast; Cedar Creek, a perennial stream which flows southeasterly; and Cherokee Bill Canyon, which contains a northeasterly flowing intermittent stream. Cherokee Bill Canyon flow originates in the Sacramento
Mountains.
There is a gaging station on the Rio Ruidoso at Hollywood approximately one mile downstream of the eastern corporate boundary of Ruidoso. The maximum discharge for the period of record, 1953 to 1978, was 1,600 cubic feet per second (cfs) on December 19, 1978. On June 17, 1965, a
discharge of 1,340 cfs was measured. Based on results of the hydrologic analysis for the Ruidoso Flood Insurance Study, the 1965 flood has an estimated recurrence interval of 45 years. The 1978 flood has an estimated recurrence interval of 75 years.

There is literally a season for this Summer period in the desert Southwest. It is monsoon season and has everything to do with the shift in winds.

First half of that drive is just monotonous desert plains but once you hit Hondo it turns into some beautiful little valleys along the Rio Hondo and Rio Ruidoso with hay fields and pastures as the elevation climbs. Always thought it would be great place to retire to.
