Several homes damaged, 17 people rescued from floodingAt least 17 people were rescued from flooding and debris flows in the Cutler Creek area between Ridgway and Ouray on Wednesday night, authorities said this morning. The heavy rain triggered flooding and debris flows that forced Cutler Creek out of its banks. Boyd said he’s heard some people ask whether Wednesday night’s flooding and debris flows will be the only event. Caselli said homeowners affected by Wednesday night’s flooding and debris flows should contact their insurance companies and a flood mitigation company immediately. Heavy rain triggered flooding and mudslides in other areas of southern Ouray County outside the Gold Mountain burn scar.
