Rescue helicopters took to the air as weather finally provided a break to rescuers and the death toll climbed in the wake of Colorado flooding.
According to various officials across the state hundreds of people are still unaccounted for in areas around Boulder. Larimer County is reporting around 1,000 residents stranded and awaiting rescue by helicopter.
State emergency officials say around 17,500 homes have been damaged and just over 1,500 have been destroyed along the Front Range but that the numbers are expected to climb as waters recede and officials can access remote areas.
Colorado governor John Hickenlooper said it could take up to three weeks before the state will be able to fully picture the costs of the flood and overall damage. FEMA is on the scene to help homeowners make “expedient repairs”.
Several homeowners are stating that they did not have flood insurance because their homes were located outside of a designated flood plain.
