At a news conference, Sean Conway, a commissioner of rural Weld County said that, “This is a 500-to-1,000-year flood.”
A sixty year old woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses saw flood waters from the Big Thompson River destroy her home in the Cedar Cove area.
At least four people are confirmed dead from the flooding and nearly 250 people are unaccounted for in two flooded counties.
