DENVER (AP) - The Latest on flooding in Colorado (all times local):
1:10 p.m.
A woman died after water flooded the basement of a suburban Denver home as another round of strong storms moved across Colorado.
Police say 32-year-old Rachael Marie Haber didn’t live in the basement apartment in Englewood but was staying in her friend’s home to take care of her cat. Police spokesman Chad Read said people who live upstairs called police Tuesday because they were concerned about their neighbor.
Police were able to find Haber, who was unresponsive, in the murky water, which was up to the ceiling.
She later died at the hospital.
The rain also caused a sinkhole to open up in nearby Sheridan and triggered flooding near an area burned by large wildfire in north of Durango.
