#ruidoso fire

[arsnof]

Ruidoso and the surrounding area are engulfed in flames, including Mescalero Apache tribal land. Mass evacuation are underway and people are losing everything.

I've got a friend with Community Power New Mexico who is taking donations (we're giving a bed) and I'm wondering if any of y'all would be able to help?

I don't have an official donation link yet, but anything donated to me for the next couple of days, or until I can get an official link, will be going to them.

Link in pinned post. If anyone wants to buy some comics, 50% of any sale will also go to them.

Evacuation orders have been issued for the entire village of Ruidoso. The only available exit is Hwy 70 towards Roswell.

Enmu- Roswell is set up as a shelter for evacuees. If anyone has facilities in the Roswell area that is willing to help house livestock/pets for evacuees, please let us know so that we can get the information to those needing a place for their animals.

Pray for Ruidoso!

“We speak often, and sentimentally, of being 'enchanted' by the natural world. But what if it's the other way around? What if we are enchanted, literally, by the human world we live in? That seems entirely more likely - that the consumer world amounts to a kind of lulling spell, chanted tunefully and eternally by the TV, the billboard, the suburb. A spell that convinces us that the things we want most from the world are comfort, convenience, security. A spell that by now we sing to each other. A spell that, should it start to weaken, we try to strengthen with medication, with consumption, with noise. A slight frantic enchantment, one that has to get louder all the time to block out the troubling question constantly forming in the back of our minds: 'Is this all there is?” ��� Bill McKibben, When the Wild Comes Leaping Up: Personal Encounters with Nature

I have this fake conspiracy theory that I came up with and can't get out of my head. So idk if anyone else knew but they retired Smokey the Bear a few years back. The area near where Smokey the Bear was found all those years ago just had two huge fires. So my idea of a conspiracy theory that might spring from this is that the ghost of Smokey the Bear is angry that they are now wanting to teach people to live with forest fires instead of try to prevent them.

Last night was the Dusty Mountain Dollies' annual Pride month celebration concert, performed free of charge at the Sagebrush Stories Bookstore and Cafe. The girls have played there numerous times and always give their audience a good show, which is how they've come to be known as the best all-girl bluegrass band in town. But their concert has also become a last-minute charitable fundraiser for victims of the South Fork Fire and the Salt Fire, both burning in southern New Mexico, our home state. These wildfires have displaced a huge number of residents in the town of Ruidoso, and many of them have lost their homes. Not to mention the destruction of wooded wilderness that is home to so many animals, who were already suffering from the loss of habitat and the changing climate. You may remember a similar benefit concert two years ago for people and animals affected by another local wildfire. They three girls are sad that this is happening once again. But they have always had a heart for their community and their homeland, and they're proud to use their musical talents to help others in any way they can.

Hey the mountains behind my house are on fire and nobody's talking about it. Could you share this post - https://www.tumblr.com/arsnof/753701203692634112/ruidoso-and-the-surrounding-area-are-engulfed-in - and help me help them?

Much appreciated.

The loud house x El Tigre(Fanfic made by KHXhero)

I found a fanfic and art on DevianArt made by KHXhero where Lincoln finds "El Tigre" 's belt in a store during a visit to relatives in Texas and now he becomes "El Tigre Ruidoso" .The events are before and after the episode "No Such Luck" where Lynn falls into a coma because of some criminals, Lincoln with post-traumatic depression, his sisters regretting their acts and sacrificing their reputation and everything for the good of his brother, Lincoln being a real hero by saving his school from a shooting, avenge his sister and save everyone from a fire. Making the first half amazing. But unfortunately in the second half, the author decides to include characters from other Nickelodeon series such as Jimmy Neutron's Dr. Calamitous and for some reason include Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, making the story decline personally. At least, his ending and epilogue are satisfactory. I would have liked to see some characters from "El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera" as the villains of Miracle City and for them to know that the Tigre mantle is now carried by a "Gringo" and they want to obtain the belt to control their power or that a family member or a descendant of Manny and Frida go to Royal Woods to claim his relative's belt and Lincoln has to prove that he is worthy of it. Since in history it is said that Manny Rivera disappeared or died after saving Miracle City from a great danger. The story is good and nothing more. It would have been excellent if it weren't for what I already mentioned.

Been triple digits most of the month so far. I'll quit posting about how hot it is (I *did* chose to move here after all), but man, Nov/Dec can't come soon enough. Feeling so back for the folks in Ruidoso NM. The fires are awful and fire crews need the rain.

Calling all prayer warriors. Huge fire in the town of Ruidoso, New Mexico. Priscilla Shirer posted it on her God Said Facebook page. It is her hometown.

Preach the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing BUT the truth.

Long read, but totally worth it. Pass it on for other preachers and teachers to see. They need to be preaching and teaching the Word of God - from the Bible and not from what they THINK the Bible should say. (I was able to take a screenshot and then copy and paste the letter itself so it’s easier to read!!)…….also it put me in mind of James 3:1, which says; “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.”

“A Dream Of Judgement Day”

“Dear Brother Ray,

I have been a pastor for 25 years. I always thought I was doing a reasonably good job. Kind of like the folks who consider themselves "good people. I had tried to preach, what I thought, was the whole counsel of God. I prayed, over the years, with many people to accept Jesus and make Him Lord of their lives.

My wife, Judy, and I moved to Ruidoso, New Mexico, about six years ago to plant a church.

Shortly after arriving I was convicted that something was horribly wrong with my ministry. I read the Scriptures and prayed earnestly that God would show me what was wrong.

The feeling continued to grow and I became depressed and moody. I asked Judy to pray for me and explained my problem. I didn't know if this was the Holy Spirit convicting or Satan attacking. She prayed that God would reveal the cause of my depression and make Himself clear as He revealed any problem with my ministry for Him.

That night I had the most terrifying, realistic, blood-chilling nightmare any man has ever had. I am a Vietnam veteran and I know a little about nightmares. Nothing in my experience has ever come close, nor do lever want it to, to the horror of that night.

I dreamed that it was Judgment Day and I was standing right next to the throne of God. I noticed that to my left and my right were pastors as far as I could see. I thought this was odd that the Lord would reserve this front-row space for pastors only.

I looked out across a space of only a few yards and there were millions, maybe billions, of people, yet I could see each one of their eyes staring at me. As I studied this group I noticed that I knew many of them from times at the altar or ones who had sat under my teaching. I was pleased to see that they had made it to heaven, but confused because they didn't look happy. They looked very angry and hateful.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord say, "Away, I never knew you."

I was suddenly frightened that what I was seeing were those who thought they were saved. Then I saw all of them pointing a finger at each of us pastors and saying together, in one voice that shook my soul,

“We sat in your church and thought we were saved. Why didn't you tell us we were lost?"

Tears were pouring down my face and the faces of all of those pastors. I watched as one by one those people were cast into hell. One and then another, and another, and another..., untl they were all gone.

I died inside as each one screamed in agony and gnashed their teeth, cursing us as they went into the lake of fire.

Then I was looking into the face of Jesus and He said to me, "Is this the part where I'm supposed to say, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant?" I woke up with a scream and my heart pounding and I was begging Jesus to forgive me.

I died a million deaths that night. Since that night I have done two things on a daily basis. I do everything I can to preach the Law before grace in the hope that conviction of sin will bring a sinner to true salvation.

The other thing that I do is pray for every person I have ever preached to, asking God to repair any damage I have done. I also never believe anyone when they tell me they are saved. It is my duty to challenge them and search out the solidness of their salvation.

I am learning to be more effective and confident as I teach others how to share their faith by using the Law.

I have seen several people saved. who thought they were saved, as I have used the “Way of the Master" material to teach them evangelism.

I do want to hear those words. "Well done my good and faithful servant," and thanks to you and your team I have a better chance of hearing them. Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know some pastors are waking up to the truth. The desire of my heart is to please God. I pray that my days of being a man please are over, along with the nightmares.

I also pray that God will use me to bring other pastors into the truth of the Gospel message so that they will not have to face the nightmare that I did.”

The Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Heavy rain is expected to impact states already experiencing significant saturation.

Begin your day with the latest weather update: Storms are set to bring heavy downpours to several U.S. regions on Tuesday, many of which have already been saturated from days of continuous rainfall.

Weather Forecast For 47905-Lafayette-IN:

https://www.behance.net/gallery/200817091/Weather-Forecast-For-47905-Lafayette-IN

Rain will drench several parts of the U.S. on Tuesday, affecting the South, Southeast, Northeast, and Southwest. Areas in the South and Southeast, including regions in Texas already flooded by Hurricane Beryl, will experience heavy rain from a persistent weather front, potentially bringing several inches of precipitation to Southeast Texas and central Louisiana.

In the Northeast, a strengthening Bermuda High off the East Coast is causing heavy precipitation and thunderstorms. The Southwest, including Arizona and New Mexico, will continue to see significant rain from monsoonal moisture. This rain, while usually beneficial for these dry areas, has led to issues near Ruidoso, New Mexico, where flash floods have prompted multiple emergencies, rescues, and evacuations in the past month.

State Representative provides update - Ruidoso News

It has been a very difficult month of devastating fires and floods. Our community has suffered through loss of life, homes, and businesses. We are ...

[rjzimmerman]

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

After two weeks of wildfires, a deluge in New Mexico caused severe flash flooding and debris flows near Ruidoso over the weekend.

Dark floodwaters, blackened with soot and ash from the South Fork and Salt fires, rushed down mountain canyons and into town, turning Highway 70 into a river and pushing over a fuel tanker, according to videos posted to social media. Homes and business suffered damage, and emergency services reported 77 water rescues.

“It’s going to be a long road to recovery,” said Kerry Gladden, a public information officer for the Village of Ruidoso. Monsoon season typically starts around July 4, and this year, it coincided with two weeks of wildfires, vastly increasing flood risks. “This is going to continue to happen each time we get a heavy rainfall,” Ms. Gladden said.

While the South Fork and Salt fires killed two people and burned more than 25,000 acres last month, the burn scars left behind could put residents at even greater risk than the wildfires themselves.

Climate change, driven primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, continues to cause increases in both high-severity fires that kill vegetation and dry out soils, and extreme rainfall events that deliver more precipitation in shorter amounts of time. The combination of dry soil and heavy rain increases the odds for hazards like flash flooding and debris flows — a dangerous mix of water, mud, boulders and trees after a fire.

“It’s a mistake to think of flash flooding or debris flow after the fact as a footnote, instead of a big part of the fire itself,” said Don Falk, a professor in natural resources and fire ecology at the University of Arizona. “It can be more destructive and cause more loss of life than the fire.”

FBI offers up to $10,000 for information on possible New Mexico arsonists

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspected arsonists.

Reports say they may have deliberately sparked two deadly wildfires that ravaged large areas of southern New Mexico last week.

The FBI reported that it was still investigating the causes of the South Fork Fire and the Salt Fire. The bureau indicated that one or more individuals might have sparked the fires on 17 June. A reward is being offered for help in identifying “person or persons responsible for starting the fires.”

New Mexico State Police reported on 19 June that they had confirmed two deaths as a result of fires in the resort mountain town of Ruidoso. The fires reportedly scorched a total area of more than 24,000 acres.

Over the past week, however, New Mexico has faced not only fires, but also a dust storm and devastating flooding. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham stated on Sunday that it had been a “hell of a week here.”
