The body of a missing Colorado man is recovered at Lake McConaughy after a storm.

Authorities say a 37-year-old man, whose name has not been released, was last seen paddling a raft when it capsized during a thunderstorm Friday night.

Divers from three nearby departments assisted Lake McConaughy authorities in the search.

In a separate incident on the same night, 69-year-old Dwight Hatch was hurt when he was trapped between two beached boats.

Hatch was treated and released from a local hospital.
