@lorip1435... "Don't you have anything better to do?" As opposed to repeating information that has already been provided and then pretending you've provided a public service?

[@Blake4625kHz]

Did a bridge over the river get clogged up? Is that why most of the water ended up on road? It seems like there is a problem with at least one crossing over the Rio Ruidoso every couple of years even without burn scars. What are yall doing with tax payer money? Get the army core of engineers to make sufficient crossings that dont wash out or clog up so often. This has been an issue for yall since time began.

[@joycej9415]

No it is because of the fires. She mentions it in the video.

[@Blake4625kHz]

@@joycej9415 i did note the burn scars in my comment. Without retyping every word, at least every couple of years there is a problem with at least one crossing washing away or getting clogged.

[@joycej9415]

@Blake4625kHz now I see that part of the comment. Maybe this will cause some work to be done on those crossings. I live in Alamogordo, foothills of the mountains. When neighbors up hill from me don't keep their property cleared, we get clogged culverts down at our lower section of streets. I mention because when the monsoons hit, the clogs happen in my front drive, so it might be that is happening to some degree there too? Hopefully, it will be engineered to help move flood waters better in the future.
