Thanks for your good thoughts for Colorado
From Boulder: we have many good stories about Coloradans and people from other states helping us as we begin the recovery from one of the worst disasters we've had in memory. Many more people died in the Big Thompson flood in 1976, but the scope of this flood is far beyond anything we've dealt with before. We usually get about 12 inches of rain a year; we've had 18 inches in four days and it is still coming down. Miles of land, towns, homes, roads in fourteen counties are still under water and mud and many people still not accounted for. If you have traveled to our beautiful state you know some of the cities, the small mountain, plains and resort communities, lovely streams and hiking and biking trails, Rocky Mountain National Park, University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado State in Ft. Collins. So much of the state has been affected and it will be many months before we can recover and restore what we've lost.
But we will recover. And we will always be so grateful for the National Guard, the hundreds of first responders and thousands of neighbors who have worked tirelessly to rescue and save lives and homes.
Our Colorado sun and blue skies will be back soon and we hope to see you on the slopes and trails.

Concrete is needed.
