President Barack Obama declared an emergency for Boulder, Larimer and El Paso counties, FEMA announced Friday. The declaration allowed FEMA to bring in four rescue teams, the largest ever deployment in Colorado, officials said. The clear skies allowed for an uptick in evacuations. National Guard troops using "high-profile" trucks to wade through water evacuated 550 people from the Boulder County town of Lyons, CNN affiliate KUSA reported. It had been cut off since the flooding began Wednesday night -- without water or sewer service, in many cases without electricity.
