Ruidoso will continue to be under a flood watch, as more thunderstorms are expected Wednesday and next week. What to know, do.

Two of the victims were children. Ruidoso Mayor Lynn Crawford said "our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their loved ones in this terrible tragedy."

At least three people have died as a result of severe flash flooding that swept through a south-central New Mexico resort town on Tuesday afternoon. The devastating floods left people trapped in homes and prompted dozens of water rescues in Ruidoso, officials said.
