The Front Range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins continued to see a deluge of rain that washed out roads, produced mudslides and flooded low-lying areas. After 500 students were evacuated from the University of Colorado student housing on Wednesday, thousands of residents were evacuated from areas along Boulder Creek, 4 Mile Creek and north Boulder, where water was running over entire neighborhoods. The residents of communities of Jamestown, Lyons, part of Longmont and Manitou Springs as well as roads up Poudre and Big Thompson Canyons were unable to evacuate and cutoff from assistance and supplies as roads were washed out.
