Colorado floods: Hundreds still missing

Emergency teams are searching for hundreds of people still missing after Colorado's deadly floods.

State officials say more than 300 are still unaccounted for, but many are believed to be merely cut off in remote areas inundated by the historic rains.

Several towns were encircled by raging waters. More than 3,000 people have been evacuated by air and ground.

The floods have been blamed for eight deaths, 1,500 homes destroyed and another 17,000 properties damaged.
