ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Adams County said 23 roads were still shut down on Monday after days of rain caused flooding and damage. They are warning people not to go around the barricades. Many roads are still covered with water and others have been heavily damaged or washed out.FOX31 got a close look at one of those washed-out roads at East 48th Avenue and Strasburg Road. The road was under 4 feet of water at one time after the rains moved through last week. The road is in a rural area north of Strasburg. FOX31 was told farmers reported up to 6 inches of rain falling in the area in a short period of time. Miller moths are here, and ‘they’re everywhere!’ At one point, swift-water rescuers had to be called to help a person stranded in the rushing waters. It’s the reason Adams County Public Works crews are asking people to obey road closed signs.“When we first closed this road, it looked like there were only 2 or 3 inches of water on it. I know what it does to this road, so we clo...

Loafers Lodge resident Tala Sili told news outlet RNZ that he saw smoke pouring through under his door and opened it to find the hallway was pitch-black.“I was on the top floor and I couldn’t go through the hallway because there was just too much smoke, so I jumped out the window,” Sili said.He said ...
