Rained a little last week....
Sure most of you heard about the Colorado floods late last week.
Everyone I know is safe, but the damage is INSANE. I was up north a bit yesterday, and there is still water all over the place, but they are repairing and cleaning up now. Thinking about driving towards Longmont today to take a look before heading to Breck to meet some family for dinner.
I didn't get as many pictures as my fiancee did, but we were lucky. Small leak because I didn't expect what we got and I didn't cover our cooler, water leaked in.
We sit about 1/2 mile from the South Platte River, which created all kinds of issues. I will see if I can get the pics from Tuula, but the river is normally 9-10 feet from the bridge over it...and it was about 6 inches from being over the roadway.
Take a look, some intense pictures here. Thank the Lord for the National Guard and our Military!!! Tuula wasn't called in (nurse for the AF reserves, Captain K. :) ) but was busy as hell at her civi job.

I took this yesterday. Little farm on my way downtown....5 days later. There was a camper knocked over and the water was clearly running FAST over the roadway Thursday. The road was closed for 4 days until Monday night.
