The village of Ruidoso is in the hearts of many tourists as it deals with flooding and its aftermath. What to know about what is closed or open.

RUIDOSO, N.M. (AP) — The loss of three lives to flash flooding in the mountain village of Ruidoso is “unfathomable and unfair,” New Mexico’s governor said Thursday, as surveys revealed more extensive damage to homes than initially thought.

RUIDOSO – Days after the most destructive flood in Ruidoso’s history, New Mexico’s U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan were given a tour of the worst-affected areas, from the Upper Canyon to Ruidoso Downs Racetrack.

The scenes at Ruidoso Downs Race Track & Casino, a mountain site steeped in legend, turned grim last week as another flash flood poured over the infield and into some of the barns. For many, the images circulating online of prestigious racehorses being evacuated from stables in deep water and a disfigured track evoked feelings of déjà vu: The track had only recently recovered

Survivors of the Ruidoso, New Mexico flash flood recount the horrors of the events that left three people dead and a community recovery.

Officials say that upwards of 50 homes were damaged by Tuesday's flooding. Emergency crews are working to clear debris.

Senator Heinrich said the increase in severity of climate events, like the ones happening here in Ruidoso with the fires and floods, has to come with a change in how resources and recovery efforts are allocated.

Social media videos from the area showed several loose horses in the flood waters, and later videos showed grooms leading horses through receding water to higher ground. Reports suggest that at least three people in the town of Ruidoso died as a result of the flooding.
