Flooding is now occurring in many areas of Northwest Colorado. Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz says flow measurements in some areas of the Yampa and it's tributaries are higher now than they've been in more than 30 years. Parts of the Elk have reached 100 year flood stage levels, and experts say it's not done rising yet. National Guard and inmate crews are sandbagging on the Little Snake River in Carbon County, Wyoming. The flooding has closed roads and parts of the Yampa Core Trail in Steamboat, and has even forced some to evacuate their homes. County Emergency Managers urge people to stay off area rivers. They say the most dangerous part can be the debris the river carries with it.
