Glad to hear people are safe after all this. Those on the plains are about to catch it, keep your fingers crossed for them.

The OD guys around here had to grab inner tubes and water wings to save the girls outside...
Unbelievable how fast a soil grow went to deep water culture.

Cloudy and rain predicted again today and tomorrow. Geesh!! Can't believe the devastation around the state and hardly nobody has flood ins. We have been in a drought here for the last 10,000 years it seems. So why would anybody pay for flood ins.
In South Jeffco can't tell anything has happened. No signs of anything here. Amazing, Bear Creek is out of it's banks only 10 miles away. Am hoping all are and remain safe...hang in there cannarado.

At the rate CDOT moves?
No telling when the roads up there get rebuilt, especially if they have to do some special preps or studies because of the damage. The rivers took out the road shoulder to shoulder in some places. And those aren't the only places messed up.

Just read that the folks in Nederland are having to go through Black Hawk down through to Golden to get to the city, and in Estes they have to go over Trail Ridge to get out. Could be weeks even months before the road and bridges are reopened.

Talked to cannarado yesterday and he said he got over 12" of rain!! If he didn't live on high ground everything he owns would be floating down the platte about now. The reality of this is just terrible. Lived in Colorado most all of my life and have never seen anything like this...the blizzard of 82 was nothing compared to this. Fires all summer and now this. Used to think Colorado was a pretty safe place to live??????

I keep reading this thinking, "My God, all that water is just going to go to waste." Here we are, bad drought, reservoirs and lakes are low, and there you all are, with your teeth floating.

Man o man its ugly in spots! I live east of the springs and we got hella rain, luckily the sand here is like beach sand so all the water just seeped in the ground. I think RDankness might be in the crossfire up in Boulder but Im not positive.

Oh, and it is STILL flooding prairie towns hundreds of miles east, and the water is heavily polluted and contaminated by untold stockyard waste, chemical spills, agricultural poisons, etc etc. This will surge all the way down rivers like the Platte until they dump into the Missouri. They'll kill fish and cause flooding and chaos and stink the whole way, on into NEBRASKA. Like I said, this thing isn't even over yet!
