The Colorado Springs Fire Department rescued two women who became trapped in a flooded intersection Thursday as more rain fell in Colorado on the heels of the wettest May ever recorded in the state, NBC News reported. Flood watches were in place in southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois, eastern Iowa and most of Colorado Thursday as a long front stretching from the Rockies to the Front Range moved through. Meanwhile, a surge of warm, tropical air from the Gulf threatens to bring more rain and the potential for flooding to parts of Oklahoma and Texas, two states that saw devastating floods in May, said Michael Palmer, senior meteorologist at The Weather Channel.
