Colorado Floods

Rain showers caused flooding on roads in parts of Texas early today, an official said, after severe weather killed at least 21 people earlier in the week, prompting US President Obama to declare a disaster in the state.

More torrential rain grounded helicopters in the US state of Colorado on Sunday, slowing the search for up to 500 people unaccounted for after several days of massive flooding.

Rare torrential downpours unleashed flash flooding in Colorado that killed at least three people, left one missing and forced thousands to flee to higher ground on Thursday as rising water toppled buildings and stranded motorists, officials said.

Applications are already pouring in for the ambitious Mars mission that aims to send an adventurous duo - a man and a woman - on a 501-day-long flyby around the Red planet in January 2018.

A major early spring storm brought heavy snow, severe thunderstorms and floods as it moved east across the United States on Saturday, closing highways, forcing flight cancellations and causing a pileup involving dozens of vehicles.
