Brad...thanks for the kind words. I live in northern Colorado and we, fortunately, didn't get anywhere near the amount of rain and flooding that other parts got. I don't live that far from the major flooding areas, but far enough that it kept me out of harms way. I do have several friends that live up in the mountains that have houses that are under water. I mean completely under water with no access in or out of their area.
It has been a real devastating natural disaster. It will take some communities "years" to rebuild their towns.
