Most of the damage happened north of Denver and we live in the west. So - we skipped the bullet this time. We have a Bear creek not that far from our house - but we are way above the flood plain on the top of a hill.
The driving to work was kind of a challenge - especially on a grooved for repaving part of highway during the rain - my truck is not holding the road that well. Friend of mine keeps her car at the apartment parking lot - but luckily the water only went to the mid wheels because she was on a high spot. There were pics on the news half mile from her place where the similar parking lot had cars up to the windows in water.
Right now I can see the patches of blue sky. Yesterday - we could only see fast moving gloomy low rain clouds.
We will have it back to warm and dry starting Monday.

Thanks

It's good to hear you are safe from all the flooding . Being new here , I do not know anyone well enough to know where they are from .

Irina,

I just heard on the news that Big Thompson Canyon had a wall of water 30 feet high. That's very close to where I used to live. Right before we moved there, they had a similar flood. The devastation was terrible.
I'm glad you're all well.

People learned something after the 70s flood that killed 144 in this very narrow canyon. So far just several confirmed fatalities. But since the flood this time happened in a lot of places at the same time - the final count will go up...

Out of my friends - one in a North Denver has 2 feet of water in a basement, broken fence - and all her landscaping washed off. Right now it is sunny- but they promised some rain later.

Irina, I am really glad you are okay. Stay safe.

Hello Irina- I am glad that you are safe!

Kai
