Comment on Roswell, New Mexico, hit by historic rainfall that left hundreds stranded on rooftops

More than 300 people were rescued by the New Mexico National Guard. A southeastern New Mexico community began to dry out Monday after historic rainfall over the weekend produced severe flooding that left at least two people dead and hundreds stranded on rooftops.Waterlogged vehicles were still submerged along some city streets in Roswell, while others were seen smashed along bridge supports and tossed up against trees and power poles after being swept away by the floodwaters on Saturday and Sunday.All the standing water and mangled masses of twisted guardrails and splintered wood were scenes unfamiliar for the community.
