QUOTES:

"DENVER (AP) - Heavy rains sent full-grown trees, massive boulders and
rivers of mud rushing across charred hillsides in southwestern Colorado on
Wednesday, isolating hundreds of residents in their homes for the second
time in less than a week.

No one was in immediate danger but roads near Durango were blocked by
debris 10 feet high and boulders weighing several tons apiece, said La
Plata County sheriff's Lt. Dan Bender.

One to 3 inches of rain had fallen in the area since Tuesday afternoon.
More rain was forecast later Wednesday, and authorities were bracing for
additional mudslides."
