The National Weather Service in Pueblo issued a flash flood warning Saturday evening for Costilla and Huerfano counties in southern Colorado. The impacted area is about 35 miles north of the New Mexico state line.

The overflowing floodwaters washed away local houses, broke trees, submerged roads, and caused miserable damage in Ruidoso.

As 27 million Americans are under severe thunderstorm and flood watch on Wednesday, a line of strong storms packing intense rainfall is threatening the Mid-Atlantic.

Flash flooding from torrential rain killed at least three people Tuesday afternoon and prompted dozens of rescues in the Ruidoso area of southern New Mexico, officials said — the same area devastated by two wildfires last year. A house was seen being carried downstream by the fast-moving water.

At least 119 people have died and 161 more are missing after catastrophic flash floods swept through central Texas, officials announced on Wednesday.
