Emergency teams organised by local law enforcement conducted at least 85 swift-water rescues.

LOS ANGELES: Torrential rains triggered flash floods in New Mexico that killed at least three people yesterday, including two young children, and trapped dozens in homes and vehicles in the resort village of Ruidoso, a state emergency official and a village statement said.

The children, aged four and seven years old, and a man were swept downstream and later found dead, the mountain resort village said late yesterday on its website, adding that rescue operations were underway.

Dramatic video footage on social media and various news outlets showed an entire house, ripped from its foundations, careening downstream through the brown, muddy waters of the flood-engorged Rio Ruidoso, side-swiping trees as it went.
