5th fatality feared in Colorado floods as towns evacuated
None
Colorado farming communities along the South Platte River were ordered to evacuate ahead of a predicted surge in the flooding, which may have claimed a fifth life and has left many still unaccounted for, authorities said on Saturday.
Four deaths have already been confirmed. About 200 people in eastern Colorado were unaccounted for, although authorities said some of those residents might be stranded or cut off from communication in the region's worst flooding in decades. (Reuters)
