This Unbelievable Video Of An Entire House Being Swept Away In A Flood In New Mexico Is Going Super Viral
The horrific flooding in Kerr County, Texas, has been the focus of national news since the Fourth of July. And while Texans are just beginning to regroup and recover, extreme weather in other parts of the country continues. On Tuesday, torrential rain hit Ruidoso, a small mountain town and summer destination in southern New Mexico, and caused the Rio Ruidoso to overflow. The flash floods that ensued have killed three people, including two children. Emergency services carried out dozens of swift water rescues. "We had people in trees, we had people in the water, people just trapped in houses with water coming into them," Fire Chief Cade Hall said, according to CBS. "You name it, we were having to address it." Related: A meteorologist for the National Weather Service said that the rain fell on land that had been scorched in wildfires last year. "The burn scar was unable to absorb a lot of the rain, as water quickly ran downhill into the river," the Weather Channel reported. The NWS in Albuquerque warned residents of flood danger on X Tuesday afternoon. According to the Weather Channel, Ruidoso-based artist Kaitlyn Carpenter was riding her motorcycle through town but sought shelter at a brewery as the rain picked up. There, she started recording the rapidly flowing river. This is what the rapids looked like at the start: Related: People offscreen in the video marvel at the flooding and debris moving swiftly downriver. Then, someone says, "Oh, there comes a house!" StringersHub via AP The house comes into full view as people react in shock and horror. "Oh no, oh no, oh my gosh," one voice says. The Weather Channel reported that Carpenter, who was recording the video, actually recognized the house by its turquoise door. It belonged to a close friend's family. It passes in seconds, taking down small trees as it gets swept out of view. Carpenter has said that the family was not home at the time and is safe. StringersHub via AP Related: The New York Times, among other outlets, posted the video to its social media channels. Commenters got political real quick, and rightfully so. "While all that happens, the current president keeps denying that climate change is real..." one person wrote. This person called living in the US "cray cray." Someone referenced the climate demonstration by the group Extinction Rebellion in which a group of scientists chained themselves to a JP Morgan Chase building in downtown Los Angeles (it was in 2022, for clarity). Related: Several commenters called out the painful irony of this situation, referencing the Trump administration's cuts to the NWS... ...as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and FEMA. "Greetings from the changing climate," someone wrote. And finally, this person said, "Thank god no billionaires were hurt..." What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
