For those of you that do actually care about myself and my safety for being in this flooding, let me just tell you what's up right now.
Jeffco(Jefferson county, where I live) just went into a state of emergency because of the flooding. I am fine, I live up on a hill and most of the spots I frequent are on this same "hill" so we dont get a lot of flooding.
There is MAJOR flash flooding up in the mountains and several roads are closed because of it.
Several people have died from the flooding already from what I gather as well and the schools are shutting down for various reasons. Damien had to leave the college early because the flooding went in and is messing with the building that houses the school's online data.
It appears the raining will be slowing down tomorrow, hopefully.
But, again for those that are concerned about me, I am fine. Though do keep others in colorado in your thoughts and pray, if that is your thing, for their safety.
Major Storm Hits Denver Metropolitan Area
The Denver Metropolitan area and the entire Front Range of Colorado is under a stalled weather front that is bringing unprecedented amounts of rainfall and flooding. In some areas up to 10 inches of rain have fallen in the past 24 hours. Average annual precipitation in this area ranges from 12 to 15 inches, and of course a lot of that usually comes in snowfall. Currently, the University of Colorado in Boulder is closed with 25 percent of the campus buildings suffering some type of flood damage. A major arterial interstate, I-225, is now closed on the the east side of the Denver metro area. Three persons are now confirmed dead due to the flooding. Some towns along the Front Range north of Boulder are completely isolated with highways washed out in all directions. More rain is expected with this stalled front expected not to clear out until Sunday.
