The last six people missing after Colorado's floods have been reported safe. Officials had published their names, on Monday, and all six called in to say they were not missing.
Eight people were killed in the floods which caused massive destruction in the state, almost two weeks ago.
Nearly two thousand homes and more than two hundred business were
destroyed, while over sixteen thousand homes and almost eight hundred
business were damaged.
Hundreds of miles of roadway and some sixty bridges were damaged or destroyed, making
travel still very difficult. Repairing and replacing the travel system has been made a priority by the government.
Flooding also damaged several oil containers, leaking around twenty-seven thousand gallons. However most of it was swept away by the raging waters, leaving no trace of the oil.
All told damages in Colorado are estimated at more than two billion dollars.
