People forget how dangerous it is there with heavy rain, because it's mostly dry the ground is hard and doesn't absorb the rain, so it floods. Flash floods happen quickly, especially in burn scars and dry riverbeds.

Had a couple friends almost die in the flash floods a couple years ago when they got washed away into a gas station. They were lucky enough to climb on top of the pump roof cover thing until they got rescued. There was a lot of hurt people and property damage in Chaves County that day.

My dad has recorded over 11 inches of rain so far this year. He usually gets less than 10 inches a year.

New Mexico is high altitude desert lol this is crazy.

Tomorrow (Saturday the 31st) is the last day for early voting in New Mexico.

Ruidoso has been hit so hard lately, fires, & floods.

Bro why was this going to happen?

He found out. I liked it better when he forgot we existed.

The kids aren't alright.

Ragebait.

I know an engineer who met with the supposed inventor of the atmospheric water generators, but he said the NDA he had to sign to rebut the plans was so oppressive he chose not to see them.

Bak, the CEO of the company wanting to build the data center was previously ceo of another company, left the company with $~$650k in debt. New CEO turned a mill + profit the first year.

There is speculation in the area this company is not legit, that he is just scamming everyone.

employing technology known as “atmospheric water generation” to harvest moisture from the air and turn it into usable water for cooling the data center. At public meetings, he has previously said that he believes such a model could generate a surplus of water for the excessively parched region.

That tech is useless at NM humidity levels. This guy is a joke.

Ty ,best joke to start the day ,greetings from Eur.

Victimless crime. Isn't that what they said about some of Trump's fraud?

Arrest Flock employees too, they've got tons of the things.

Couldn’t have. He was with me the whole time.

Life is precious they said.

We keep shooting the wrong people.

He's going to stab a guy in prison over whose ramen seasoning packet is saltier.

Prism Media, an Israeli-based startup, first publicized its operations in May in a press release decrying the disappearance of local news outlets. Dekel Valtzer, who lists himself as Prism Media’s co-founder and CEO on LinkedIn, did not respond to Source NM’s request for comment.

The republicans can go fuck themselves. Gov. Grisham is doing the right thing here.

There's a surprise. Trump's personal attorney covering for the Epstein class.

The Justice Department is a criminal organization openly engaging in fraud and extortion, and is a willing accessory to virtually all of Trump's myriad crimes.

It's long past time to raid their headquarters and arrest their ringleaders.

Can't believe this kind of thing is still going on. Here, of all places. My housemate grew up here and they were punished for speaking Spanish in school. That's her heritage. What kind of arrogance tries to take that away from someone?

I hate how everything election wide ends up being who raised the most money.

These people dont understand how dangerous mercury can be, let alone 270 gallons of it. Its not an easy thing to deal with, and its going to be incredibly expensive regardless what they do. Disposal is probably cheaper and simpler than decontaminating the facility to a level that is safe for the public.
