This led <br />authorities at Manitou Springs to issue a <br />flash flood warning. They predicted a 3 to 7 <br />foot high wall of water would come down <br />Fountain Creek from Ute Pass. The sheriff <br />evacuated some residents and tourists, but no <br />flood materialized. <br /> <br />Source: Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph, <br />8/30/89, p. B4 <br />
