Historic Flooding Across Colorado

Via Cousin Colby

 

Over the past few days, a 4,500-square-mile area across Colorado's Front Range has been hit by devastating floods, leaving at least six dead, forcing thousands to evacuate, and destroying thousands of homes and farms. Record amounts of rainfall generated flash floods that tore up roads and lines of communication, leaving many stranded, and hundreds still listed as missing. Evacuations are still underway as weather conditions have improved slightly. Forecasters predict drier weather by mid-week. Gathered here are recent images of the devastation in Colorado.

  1. It has been declared a federal disaster area. As though things weren't bad enough, now they have FEMA to deal with.

    1. Damn if that ain't the truth and they will blame it on "Global Warming!" :)
