CNN: In a new era of climate disaster, a tiny, resilient mountain village in New Mexico is teaching the world how to adapt

(subscriber only, but it's readable in Firefox "reader mode"). TLDR: they have no choice, they just keep on going on (IMHO).

From the article:

" Ruidoso is not an outlier. Across the US, fires and floods are now common in regions that used to rarely face them. Climate-fueled catastrophes that were once anomalies – deadly wildfires in the Northeast, historic urban flooding in the Southwest – are rapidly reshaping the fabric of American life.

Such flip-flopping between weather extremes could happen more often as the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution, climate experts say. Rainfall events are also intensifying; nearly 90% of US cities experienced an increase in hourly rainfall rates since 1970, according to a 2024 analysis from Climate Central. "
