This is really going to stink... Literally. Residents east of 35th Ave. in Evans will be without the ability to use the waste water system for a minimum of 10 days. Meaning no showers, no flushing, and no use of water that would end up down a drain...
Boulder Sheriff Joe Pelle says 4 people have already lost their lives in the tragic flooding in Boulder County but there may be more victims as at least 80 are still not accounted for.
Scary pictures of animals stranded in the flood waters of Milliken, Colorado. The video above was from my in-laws of flooding happening from the bridge at Weld County Roads 17 & 52 taken this afternoon. An incredible amount of water is moving through the rivers and I fear we're going to hear more bad news before we start hearing good news.
On a day where many are staying as far away from rivers in Northern Colorado like the South Platte, the Big Thompson, and the Cache la Poudre, and for good reason, there are a few folks who are getting as close as they can so we smart/scardy-pants folks can see whats going on a ground zero.
The devastation being wrought on by this floodwater is almost incomprehensible. Highway 34 has pretty much been completely washed out above Loveland's Dam Store in the Big Thompson Canyon.
The flooding continues in Colorado today, I snapped some pictures on the way to work today from Timnath and Windsor around noon. It's nothing like the devastation seen in some of the mountain towns, but is certainly an awe-inspiring amount of water where water just normally...isn't.
We have been asked numerous times today about the water quality across northern Colorado and we have the answers to your questions regarding the safety of the drinking water after the Colorado floods.
