Crews are working to clean up hail and repair roads after flooding rains targeted Boulder and Elbert Counties.

Hail hit parts of Boulder Monday afternoon.

Boulder Fire-Rescue helped save two people from being stranded in Boulder Creek during the storm today. The people were near the creek path when today's storm hit. The water came in so fast that it stranded them on an island. Please use caution when standing near rushing water. pic.twitter.com/rK1FHuG8cP

County Road 94 is also closed at the intersection of County Road 61.

County Road 122 between County Road 93 and Ridge Road is now closed.

In Johnstown, residents were urged to fill sandbags in case of flooding. Residents can fill those sandbags at the Johnstown Cemetery anytime after 2 p.m.

Johnstown Residents can come to the Johnstown Cemetery (north of Hwy60 on CR13) to fill sandbags if they are needed. Many homes in Johnstown have been hit with localized flooding and sandbags are a good initial barrier to in-home flooding.
