Flooding from a fast-moving storm in Colorado has killed two people and led to the evacuation of hundreds of homes.
Many roads are closed because of high water and debris, preventing rescue crews from reaching the stranded.
Up to 7in (17cm) of rain fell in three hours in the Boulder area on Thursday morning, the third day of rain.
Residents in two areas south-east of the town of Estes Park have been ordered to evacuate after an earthen dam gave way in the area.
Some 400 students at University of Colorado, Boulder, were evacuated and classes were cancelled on Thursday because of the flooding, said Gabrielle Boerkircher, a spokeswoman for the Boulder emergency management office.
Ms Boerkircher said one person was killed when a structure collapsed in the town of Jamestown.
And police conducting flood patrols in Colorado Springs found a body on Thursday morning on the west side of the city, according to Colorado Springs spokeswoman Kim Melchor.
