Today marks day 3 of some, at times, torrential rains in New Mexico. There's mud everywhere and it's the deep, boot sucking off kind of mud. You step in it and your shoe is gone, never to be retrieved.

| Flood Watches in New Mexico |
I'm guessing that we've had about 2" of rain here at the house. However, other parts of the state are in much worse shape. We're quite fond of saying, "No complaining when it's raining..." but this is rather extreme. Roads are closed throughout the state because of storm damage; Roswell is flooded; and about 80% of the state is under either a flood watch or warning. Good Lord! People have had to be
airlifted out of Artesia and the Guadalupe mountains in southern NM saw
more than 11" of rain!
