Torrential downpours fell around the Front Range on Sunday late afternoon and evening, causing flash flooding in multiple communities and stranding some motorists in their cars.
Several roads closed — including Interstate 70 between York and Steele — amid the flooding. The Denver Fire Department said its crews rescued 11 people from their vehicles at I-70 and York, and eight people from 38th and Blake. In one case from the latter location, a Denver firefighter rescued two children from flood waters.
As of 10:35 p.m., the National Weather Service out of Boulder reported that some showers and storms were still lingering in the southern foothills, Palmer Divide and adjacent plains. Most of the flash flood warnings and advisories expired by midnight.
