Roads remain closed in Greeley on Wednesday morning after a severe storm plummeted the city with hail and rain overnight, causing flooding and dangerous driving conditions.
City officials advised residents to avoid downtown and opened a temporary shelter for those in need at the Greeley Family FunPlex, located at 1501 65th Ave., because of the flooding.
The shelter is expected to stay open “at least the rest of the day,” city spokeswoman Becca Vaclavik wrote in an email, adding that four people and two dogs are staying at the shelter.
