Storm Brings Tragedy To 2 Families

The boy's mother was looking for her son and found his body about 50 feet inside the large concrete storm drain near Austin Bluff Road and Woodman Road.

Colorado Springs officials believe the 14-year-old victim was caught in Tuesday's downpour and drowned.

A 14-year-old friend remained missing after the storm that dumped up to 4 inches of rain and piles of hail that flooded intersections. Both hadn't been heard from since the storm hit.

Officials said the two boys were reported missing early Wednesday. They were last seen about 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.

The search for the second boy was still in progress late Wednesday afternoon.

Fire Department Lt. Brian Keys said Cottonwood Creek, which runs through the culvert, was was several feet deeper than normal due to the heavy rains.

Tuesday's flooding also caused thousands of gallons of untreated wastewater to flow into Sand Creek and Fountain Creek. Residents were warned Wednesday not to allow children or pets to play in the water.

Near the Citadel Mall on Tuesday, the hail was piled so high that snowplows were called in to clear streets.

Fire department crews rescued at least 30 people that were trapped in vehicles stalled by the rising water Tuesday.
