WETMORE, Colo. (CBS4) - Rising waters covered roads and threatened homes over the weekend in southern Colorado.
High water from Hardscrabble Creek rose and went through town Saturday night, threatening not only the roads and bridges.
Neighbors said they could hear it rushing from miles away before the flood even struck the town in Custer County.
They were told to see higher ground immediately.
