The Village of Ruidoso in New Mexico confirmed that three people, including a 4-year-old girl, 7-year-old boy and man in his 40s-50s, were killed in flash floods that occurred on Tuesday, July 8.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said his state "will not stop until every missing person is found" following devastating flooding in central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend that left at least 105 dead. Five young girls and a counselor from Camp Mystic in Hunt remain missing Tuesday.
The resort village of Ruidoso was under a flash flood emergency as slow-moving storms left people trapped in homes and prompted water rescues.
The toll in Texas floods has now climbed to at least 129, making it one of the United States' deadliest rainfall-driven flash floods.
