Here Comes the Sun
This afternoon, the rain finally stopped at my place and the sun peeked out after 4 straight days and nights of heavy rain. Can you imagine getting an entire year's worth of precip in just a few days? That is what has happened here. One National Weather Service forecaster called the extended rainstorm "Biblical." The flooding is/was unbelievable.

Upon seeing the sun for the first time since last Sunday, I immediately thought of this tune from my youth.





This is an epic disaster in Colorado. 4 confirmed dead and 80 unaccounted for. First responders have not yet reached some towns which were completely cut off from the world since the storm started. Communications are spotty at best, cell service down in many areas, telephone lines also down, bridges and roads washed out for 130 miles along the front range.

While I know that many here would prefer DB and myself gone, I think we made it through. But, it is not over yet. While some waters are starting to recede, more rain predicted for tonight and tomorrow night. Then we dry out next week. I've lived here for 33 years and have never seen anything even remotely like it.

If you are so inclined,say a prayer for the families of those lost and missing and those who lost everything.

Folks in Fort Fun being evacuated.

Daughter's friends were evacuated at 2 am with their 2 year old by raft. Lived near the Poudre River. House was eventually covered.

Any of you Coloradans know if the Tesla dealership in downtown Boulder survived?

As the native Americans say, "white man build by river and drown, Indian settle on hill and stay dry".

"Nestled is the foothills" sounds pretty good out here today.

Glad you're doing alright.

The photos and video from out that way are pretty insane, to say the least.

Worse today in Greeley, and out east. Platte is huge and can be a beast, and right now it is.

BTW, thanks std.

Oh boy. Flash flood warnings down south from Castlewood canyon to the Springs. They've already had 2 inches in the past hour and the sky is just black. Not looking so good up here either. Storm clouds gathering again. They said to expect it.

Doubt it. One got recalled by a majority dem turnout. Out of staters don't quite "get" the culture here. Especially NYers.

Oh lord, it's starting to rain again and here comes the hail. Batten down the hatches. Here we go again. Under another flash flood warning for the next several hours.

RE: Here Comes the Sun
Any danger of flooding like the one in Big Thompson Canyon? I used to fish there a lot when I was in grad school, can't believe the pics from Greeley, Ft Collins and Boulder. Hope things dry out as soon as possible. You need some chinook winds to go through and speed up the process.

RE: Here Comes the Sun
Not much of a chance of chinooks coming this time of the year, we need heat and typical Colorado high desert conditions to show up, by all indications that will be back on Monday.

Big Thompson is running into the Platte, and the people down on the front range are getting inundated big time. Sad.

Time to get on the Red Cross site and make a donation, they're going to need it for sure.

Say's who (other than Pez or Chuck Norris)? More value your contributions when actually discussing WMU sports.

MHB and Belt are two of the nicer men I have ever met (Dip to in person, believe it or not), but I can see them wanting me gone.
