By Suzannah Hills PUBLISHED: 04:17 EST, 12 September 2013 | UPDATED: 17:19 EST, 12 September 2013 Scores of homes have been destroyed and at least three people killed after heavy overnight rainfall sparked flash flooding across Colorado in the early hours this morning. Flooding was reported from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs, more than 100 miles south. Boulder County, including the city of Boulder, was one of the hardest hit areas, with as much as six inches falling in just 12 hours overnight into this morning causing rock and mudslides. Four more inches are expected to fall today, prompting local officials to call in the National Guard and FEMA.
