Man Dies Under Mudslide in Colorado Floods

A man's body has been found buried under mud and several feet of debris following a flash flood in Manitou Springs, Colo., last night. An inch and a half of rain fell in the area between 5:30pm and 6pm, causing boulders and mud to flow through the same area in Waldo Canyon ravaged by wildfires last year. The body has not yet been publicly identified and a cause of death has not been announced, but police believe the man died in the floods, the Denver Post reports. Three others are still missing, say authorities: Juston Travis, 24, a man known only as Steve, and a woman " seen near the creek hanging in a tree one minute and not seen the next," reports CNN.

Flash flooding in Oklahoma City also claimed the life of a man yesterday: Vincent Brown, 60, was swept into a dram and drowned while trying to rescue his stranded daughter, reports the Oklahoman. His daughter, who was not injured, says she he waded through the water to help her escape from her car. She turned around to get some things from the car, and when she turned back, Brown was gone. His body was found in a drainage canal. (More Manitou Springs stories.)
