Heavy rain and flash floods: Severe weather strikes again in the USA

Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms have caused fresh flooding in the southern United States.

The city of Ruidoso in the state of New Mexico was particularly affected. At least three people were killed in the floods, and numerous injured people had to be taken to hospital.

Mudslides and floodwaters swept away several houses, while roads and bridges were submerged.

Last weekend, around 120 people lost their lives in severe flooding in Texas. More than 160 are still missing.
