Delta Red

Has anybody heard from him. Hope he is not being affected by the flooding. Gregg

Flood coverage I saw on the news today was at Boulder and Greely on the East side of the range...feel really bad for those folks affected.

Delta Red is on the west side of the Rockies.

He is on the system as we speak. No mention of flooding in his post on the Farmall "channel". I had the same thought, but having lived in Fort Collins, I knew it was a way different territory separated by a rangs that usually takes the moisture right out of the air. Jim

I am here...The front range is pounded hard.My family in Ft.Collins is OK.Boulder is the hardest hit.My sister has been sending pics.Here on the western slope, we are getting lots of rain,but no flooding but the rivers are high.Been raining for almost a week here,hay's been down for 10 days

Yeah - right now, Boulder, Lyons, etc. are getting a taste of the flood in '65 which dumped even more moisture on the Front Range (14" in 24 hours) but that storm was concentrated south of the Palmer Divide (divides the watershed of the South Platte to the north and the Arkansas to the south) which is why Colorado Springs and Pueblo were spared the brunt of this one. 'They' are saying that this is a '500 year flood' just as they said about the one is '65 which makes 'their' reckoning off by at least a factor of 10; Pueblo was hit in '35(?) when Fountain Creek roared thru town which resulted in the channelization of the Fountain in Pueblo (Monument Creek in C. Spgs. was also channelized). My point is that these events have been going on since who knows when and now people make comments like 'I've been living here for 30 years and have never seen anything like this'; None of the developers and planners take into account the history of the Front Range's weather events and can't even tell you where the historic flood plains of the various creeks and rivers are - they just keep building and paving over them. On top of the year-around rivers and streams the foothills and plains have numerous, normally dry, creeks and arroyos that SOMETIMES run out of their banks that are the farthest from people's minds until an event like we're seeing now comes along. These things happen on a semi-regular basis BUT,soon, we will hear about how this is just another manifestation of 'global-warming' - Yeh, right :x

Hes way over on the western side

My youngest daughter moved to Boulder in June.
