We're all in shock this weekend watching the surreal flooding in northern Colorado take place. As planned, Chuck and I had dropped my mom and dad off at the airport, here in San Antonio last Thursday afternoon (Sept. 12, 2013) on their way to the cabin in Estes Park via the Denver airport. We all knew there had been some flooding in Boulder, CO but that's not so uncommon - none of us thought there would be any problems since they were staying the night in Denver and then driving their trek north to Estes Park. Dad already had alternative routes mapped if needed. This is the time of year where my parents enjoy the last of the mountain summer and then close up the cabin for the winter.
Well, two hours after Chuck and I left the San Antonio airport, word was all over the news and internet - flooding had hit many of the small mountain towns all over North Colorado and the rains weren't going to stop. I've included some videos and pics from folks who have posted them to show just how serious and devestating the power of flooding can be. As of today, there have been NO casualties from the Estes Park area and we are all praying for the families from Boulder who have lost their own. Mom and Dad stayed the night in Denver and then took an afternoon flight home to San Antonio the following day. We are in the process right now to see how their cabin is fairing. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone with homes, businesses, and those vacationing in and around the flooded areas.
Below is a video of Glen Haven - this is where we took Keith, Marci, and the girls to get cinnamon rolls (see previous pictures in my blog). This poor town will need to rebuild - there's not much left. Very sad. So much can happen in a blink of an eye.
