00:00 Now, rushing water on Sunday flooded the roads into Hatch be closing down parts
00:04 of Sand Canyon, Copas Road and to hatch. We boulevard storm brought more than
00:08 five inches of rain to to hatch beyond sunday alone. Rain chances expected to
00:12 last through the week for the current mountains. And as a result, the Red
00:15 Cross has opened the shelter at the to hatch be education center for residents
00:19 who are displaced. Jim Hankinson, a volunteer with the Red Cross, says
00:24 they're prepared to receive all kinds of clients. And so far we've not had
00:28 any clients, but we're ready for them. So it's my understanding that 30 to 50
00:33 homes were given an evacuation order due to flooding.
00:36 Hankinson says those who seek shelter will get three meals a day, a cot and a
00:41 blanket, and they'll also care for your small animals. For more information on
00:45 the shelter and to keep updated with the latest weather conditions, you can
