Where I live ( up in the high country and away from rivers and streams) we have faired pretty well. All of the main highways down the mountain however are either washed out or blocked by rock and mudslides.
We were with out power for just over 13 hours last night to mid day today. It is raining again but we did have a little sun this afternoon.
Sadly there have have been fatalities with this.
It may be days or weeks before some of these roadways are opened up. A visit to the market today was an eye opener for many. Shelves stripped clean of Bread, Bottled water, eggs etc.
Being prepared with a week or more of emergency food...is a good thing.
This pic is of Colorado Hwy 7 about 12 miles west of the small town of Lyons, (this is about 15 miles north of were I live) but this type of devastation covers many hundreds of sq miles.
The photo is not mine but from a Denver post contributor.
