A woman, who asked not to be identified, carries two children while being evacuated by the Juniper Valley Fire Crew on Sept. 14, on Olde Stage Road in Boulder, Colo,. Rescuers rushed by land and by air to evacuate Coloradans stranded by epic mountain flooding as debris-filled rivers became muddy seas that extended into towns and farms miles from the Rockies. Four people have been confirmed dead since the harrowing floods began. And hundreds of others have not been heard from in the flood zone, which has grown to cover an area covering nearly 4,500 square miles (11,655 square kilometers), nearly the size of the US state of Connecticut.
