Rainstorms triggered flash flood warnings in Douglas and Elbert counties Thursday, and swept away the ground under a road into a Colorado Springs park.
Parts of the two counties fell under a flash flood warning Thursday afternoon. Residents of Castle Rock, Franktown and Elizabeth were advised by the National Weather Service to prepare to move to higher ground and avoid driving through flooding.
The city of Colorado Springs also posted a video on social media at 5:29 p.m. that showed North Cheyenne Creek rushing under a section of North Cheyenne Canyon Road in the southwest area of the city.
The city said in the post that both gates into North Cheyenne Cañon Park are closed while the city works to repair the road. Gold Camp Road is also closed to the public but accessible to nearby residents.
Fog and rain are forecast Friday morning in Denver, with clouds likely burning off Saturday and returning Sunday. No local flooding was forecast by the agency Friday.
