A thunderstorm hit hillsides scarred by wildfire in Larimer County earlier this week. It caused a flash flood that raced through Poudre Canyon and killed at least one person. Last year’s fires scorched more than a half-million acres in Colorado. And rainstorms are a fact of life here. That means the threat will be with us for a while. For more on flash floods - and how to stay safe -- we spoke with meteorologist Paul Schlatter of the National Weather Service.
