"The towns of Johnstown and Milliken lie to the north of me and, as of Friday, were a couple of islands out on the plains. The 3 main rivers: the Cache le Poudre, which flows down from Poudre Canyon through my old home of Ft Collins: the Big Thompson, which flows down from Rocky Mountain National Park/Estes Park and through Loveland; and the one on the film, the St Vrain, flows down from Estes Park, through Lyons and Longmont are all converging east of I-25 and flooding the plains and just about every small farm town out there."
I remember the Big Thompson and Poudre Canyon events back in the 70's, many lives were taken but nothing as extensive as these events. Do hope everyone stays safe. I snuck down the pass after waiting most of Thur. during the few hours it opened only to meet the rain head on in CS, as I drove that goat trail up to 70 the emergency broadcast told the folks out by three lakes near the arsenal to " move quickly to safe your life"...finally left the down pour at Hays, KS., back in NC now but be back in a bit.

Thank God I wasn't drinking anything when I pulled that up, Diver. That about sums it up. In spite of all the mayhem and destruction we're having, that is damn funny. Holy crap, I have to forward that one.

Much oblige, brother. I'm high and dry out here. I wish I could say the same for a lot of others.

My son, in FTC, says that Estes Park will be cut off over the winter once the Ridge Road closes.

Well, SGT son just got activated for flood relief. He's a bit miffed since it will screw up his CSU semester, but he also recognized that two houses that he had been looking to buy have been washed away. I pointed out that he will remember the disaster response far longer than the semester.

Latest report from my son is that the flat-land citizens (Longmont, etc.) are getting testy with the NG checkpoints. So he and three other NCOs re-assigned themselves to Estes Park where he said that they were welcomed with opened arms. The locals are bringing them coffee and snacks. He just got there, so has not had time to recon the situation. They are happier helping those who really need them, though.

Diver,
We need to update that slide. We've officially gone from Drought&Fire to Flood to Rock Slide, and are now in Snow season.
The high country and northern regions are talking about a foot of snow or more with this system. Out here in Frederick, it's snowing with a big freeze expected for tonight. I doubt we'll have too much precipitation here but, then again, I don't live in a flood zone either.
Well, at least all the flood damage repair crews have places to plow the snow into for the interim.
