First look at damage from wildfires in Ruidoso, New Mexico 

Me too 😢

Stop given them pray & start given money to these people. 🙄😒

My dad was stationed at W.S.M.R. We went Rigors downs when I was a kid to see the horse races. It is Beautiful country! My Grandfather is buried in Las Cruces✅✌️❤️🙏🫶😇🥲🥸🌍

It is a beautiful place.

The trees and vegetation there is fire adapted and can survive fires quite well. Structures far less so. Even so a whole lot of those trees with those brown needles will probably die given the severity of the fire.

You already know...

First thing I noticed.

Did it miss the plastic trash cans again.

Gavalan

Excuse me, Mr. Smart. I had that question..

The trees which are mostly ponderosa pine trees hold a lot of water even in the drought that the region is experiencing. Thus the trees often appear to survive, but the houses which are not designed to resist the heat go up quickly. Plus there are vents and openings on house exteriors that embers can enter and start burning from the inside.

That’s what burnt pine trees look like.

I was wondering if there had been any talk lately of it becoming a "smart" city. Prayers for everyone who has been impacted.

Actually it is the largest wind farm in the country that is going there. Look up Pattern Energy, Canadian Pension Plan Investments, SunZia. Maui 2.0

exactly my thoughts now somehow large dangerous storm brews up right over fire area with baseball size hail???? something seems off

Yup same hit as Lahaina WAKE UP PEOPLE WE ARE UNDER ATTACK INSIDE JOB

As long as the women in my 15 minutes city are pretty it’s all good

Facts

Amen. MARANATHA

that's how fires move through some landscapes. its all about the conditions at the time.

It says in the description that it is on Gavilan Canyon Road.

what do you mean "natural" fire? it was likely started by arson but...fire is fire.

They weren't painted blue.?. 🤔

Mostly concrete and metal??

there is no dew, kiddo.

Agree!!!

That is not so easy with fast moving fires like this one. Within a few hours this fire went from a couple hundred acres to thousands of acres because of high winds and everything was so dry. Getting the fire crew on the scene takes time as well.

Please be a little more open about it, I think this is true...

take your meds.

suspected russian bot.

@@michaelfisher7170 Hour from the Capital. Currently 96 degrees with no rain in sight.

They seem to enjoy Dewing this. I wonder where they will Dew next. We all hoping they don't Dew our area.

@@ronjessup9157 I'm worried because it's been a couple years since we've had a big fire/natural disaster, we are due in Oregon, especially since all the counties east of the cascade range have voted to succeed from Oregon to become greater Idaho...which I'm sure has pissed off the whackjobs running the state, wanting retaliation, you know because that's what the Dems do.

That makes way too much sense. It was probably aliens or something.

You should have eaten less paint as a child

Roswell is a great community for older people especially. One long street with mostly all the businesses you would need. Traffic not too bad. A very good hospital, there are two hospitals. Some good doctors. Just not much night life, quite town, but community celebrations once in awhile. No devastating storms to speak of, but then not much rain or snow. I was born there. 78 now and just moved away so I could live with my son to look after me. Oh, don't drink the alien cool aid, most long time residents know it's just a touristy money maker, but doesn't make the city much money.

​@@shoebill181That's the whole reason I wanna visit. I'd love to visit the UFO museum and maybe that UFO shaped McDonald's. I DO believe in aliens

​@@shoebill181Thanks for comment

I grew up in Roswell when Walker AFB (Roswell Army Airfield) was still operational. It was a great town to grow up in until the late 70s. There's a lot of crime now.

If you're interested in the UFO Museum, you should make the trip and enjoy yourself. I would've suggested hitting Tinnie's Silver Dollar in Hondo, taking the Capitan Loop to Lincoln, stopping at Bonita Lake, and coming back through Ruidoso. I guess we will have to see the extent of those damages.

drinking the kool aid.

Omg get a life!!

​@mistybollinger3312 No! You get a life! What are you doing to help people in Ruidoso, may I ask?

How about this one Revelation 13:13

Revelation 12 too

none of which have anything to do with this news story.

Yes, and pinecones release seeds after a fire, a process called serotiny, then the seeds are spread all over the place. Nature has adjusted, humans have not adjusted quite as well it seems. But people will rebuild so a case can be made for that.

Maui 2.0 Look up largest wind farm in USA to begin construction. Pattern Energy, SunZia, Canadian Pension Plan Investments. The resistance was from native tribes & old town locals. Much like Maui.

Simple. The trees (ponderosa pine) have evolved over centuries to survive fires. Houses and cars have not.

@@nimblevagrant4 Wouldn't it be the trees that keep the fire spreading? For instance, a house & car are turned to ash, how does the fire spread?

​@@journeywithnicholeI think it would be the sparks that fly from combustibles in the house and cars often have gas tanks explode.

@@joycej9415 yes, makes sense and the high winds would carry those flammables

It's Gavilan Canyon, heading East from Alto Cafe.

There is no climate change. Get a grip

The Climate has always changed, is changing, and will always change, with or without mankind.

It's Gavilan Canyon, heading East from Alto Cafe.

Thank you. If Gavalan is that bad I can't Imagine how bad west from there is. My parents home in off Cedar Creek. We fear the worst.

Hot and dry conditions, it is that time of year for wild fires in New Mexico.

Exactly

Geoengineering

They are more combustible.

Houses are basically kindling, they're going to burn easier than a massive old tree.

Paradise fire

Yep, Aspencade took on a different hue at that time! I miss Bonita Lake. I spent almost every weekend there as a kid. I knew every trail around and even found a friend's long-lost grave of his relative. His family was excited when I led them right to it. They now have fencing around the gravesite. Bonita was supposed to open up this year. I'm so sad. 😢

This has nothing to do with climate change, New Mexico is High Desert and with the high heats, they have wild fires every year, since forever.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Whereabouts did you live in Roswell? I grew up near Cahoon Park but my family moved across from Goddard in 1971.

@@Carol-zk1ly by the airport

That's our new government at work.

That's why Timberon kept their road into town gravel for so many years. I remember when Ruidoso was nothing but dirt roads. It was scary in my Dad's old Carryall.

​@@Carol-zk1lyme too, when we camped there in the 1950's and 60's

I don't understand, ruidoso is literally a tourist town teenagers and adults all get good income because of travel. Yeah it sucked hearing customers being rude but that's everywhere. How dare you try to turn this disaster into a good thing for your selfish ass reason.

Why you think that El Paso people is not special, and you are? Thank God, he is merciful to you and to people from El Paso, I am sure you also visit El Paso😊

😂😂😂

The remains of burned homes.

Sadly I think many of those trees will end up dying either from the thermal injury or subsequent infestation from damaged outer defense. I hope I'm wrong

Sure are 🙄
