The flood water is moving into Morgan County, on the eastern plains.

More rain is likely Saturday night and Sunday ... here’s the latest on the flooding situation.

Amazing photos. Reminiscent of when TS Irene came through here and caused damage like that. Roads and rivers sharing a valley don’t play nicely together.

Lesson for the day: DO NOT build at the bottom of a ravine!

You realize there are laws in Colorado that prevent people from using, daming or stopping the flow the rain water. It must, by law, flow down the rivers and into Kansas where it is used for irrigation.

I’ve only been to Colorado twice in my life, so I may be ignorant on this: but didn’t they build a series of dams and floodgates back in the 1940’s to prevent this sort of thing?

We’re under a flood warning right now. Not much in my area but this place is soaked to the core now.

Wow. Amazing images. I often ride that road on motorcycles as it is one of the local favorites. It is a total goner.

Has Obomba declared this a disaster area yet?

I assume he has to be "asked" to provide relief by the governor before he can provide federal help.

It's been a couple days of terrible destruction, yet I haven't heard a word about such a scenario. Have I missed something?

The drive through the canyon is so breathtaking. We love to rent a cabin on the Cache la Poudre River then go up to Chamber Lake. We saw the most beautiful moose up there. I wonder if those cabins are still ok.

I've been working my butt off, putting roads back together in Manitou. Some holes have completely swallowed cars up.

On a side note, the gold prospecting should be great! Good luck to you Coloradans.

Talked to a friend this morning who lives close to the Mountains.
Hywy 34 to Estes Park is totally destroyed.
There are dead horses and cows lying in the fields.
