Authorities issued mandatory evacuations for residents and business occupants in the area as they were in “immediate and imminent danger,” according to a Facebook post from the sheriff’s office.
“Evacuate the area immediately and as quickly as possible. Do not delay leaving to gather belongings or make efforts to protect your home or business. Evacuating immediately not only supports your safety, but also allows emergency crews better access to the area,” the statement added.

Poudre Valley REA, the electric co-op in the area, reported on late Tuesday night that crews were working to restore power to some locations amid the flooding, though they warned that “with bridges out and debris not allowing us to cross the river, we aren’t able to finish assessing the damages at this time.”
