PUEBLO, CO — People in Pueblo are dealing with some lingering impacts from yesterday's storm. Hundreds in the county are without power. You can see Black Hills Energy's status on their website.

We drove around Pueblo all morning long. It didn't take long for us to come across tree branches on the road near downtown. Then, we came across a massive pile of debris behind the Taco Bell on Elizabeth Street.

After taking a closer look, we found out the damage comes from a building that houses a church, cleaners, and a tattoo shop. We talked with the pastor of the church who says he's more worried about the people than the building.

CSU Pueblo is also closed today because of damages. Luckily, no students are in classes right now as those begin on the 19th.

We'll continue searching around Pueblo to show you any other damages we may see. Plus, if any other closures come into the newsroom, we'll be sure to let you know.
