'Epic Deluge' Ravages Colorado

An “epic deluge” continues to wreak havoc on Colorado for a third day.

Record rainfall caused massive flooding, which the United States Geological Survey called a “100-year event,” forced the evacuation of thousands from the Boulder area, and killed at least three people.

“It’s really something here. I tell you, I’ve never seen rain like this. It’s endless,” Boulder resident Lauren Sundstrom told Reuters.
