Colorado Flood Update
Many friends from outside the area have inquired how we've fared through the recent disaster in Colorado. Here's an update: Our current place (rental) is fine, though the property we're building on was decimated pretty badly (it's about 2 miles from where we presently live, next to a lake on the St Vrain river). The river is normally 20-30 feet wide and 1-2 feet deep. I could have waded across it no problem a week ago. It was 200-500yds wide when we saw it a few days ago (no typo there). The shot below is our lake, but it's connected now to the river and the next lake over. The water continues for hundreds of yards to the right side of the frame. Utterly amazing. Here's the sign to our neighborhood. Irony is we just changed the street name from Dougla Drive to Waterside Ln. How appropriate. This guy tried to go around the road barriers. Bad idea. Fire department got their engine stuck trying...
