Thanks for the update Pat, glad to hear your family is safe -- the Big Thompson flooded in 1976 and the South Platte flooded Denver in 1965. Colorado Springs has had localized flooding (mainly Manitou), we have rec'd only 2-3" over here in NE COS (we have been in a donut hole apparently). I know several of my colleagues whose basements flooded. Hwy 24 is damaged and they have to repair the westbound lanes - Waldo Canyon burn scar runoff will be an issue for 10+ years. The eastern CO plains have sure picked up a lot of rain, 4-8" in places - the great part is most of it will just seep down to the aquifer; some people may already be planting winter wheat and this will be bad for that.. sigh... If this storm had hit just a few weeks from now - we would be talking many feet of snow - watch out Colorado! (The record along the front range was in Dec 1913... eeek) A lot of this rain is heading east - take care cousins, SRJ > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:iljeffer- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Pat Corona > Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 1:19 PM > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: [ILJEFFER] The Flood in CO. > > Dear Friends, > > Thank you to all of you who have called & written regarding the safety of > my daughter, Catherine, during this epic flood in Colorado.
