Why the 2024 Ruidoso wildfires made New Mexico vulnerable to catastrophic flooding
"The main reason was the South Fork Fire last year that burned directly west of Ruidoso," Grzywacz said. "The soil wasn't able to absorb any of the rainfall, and it runs right down into Ruidoso. Normally, if you had that vegetation still there, it could absorb it. For the Ruidoso monsoon season, it was above average rain but not record rainfall."
The summer rainy season in New Mexico usually brings daily alerts about the potential for flooding around the arid state.
