View Full Version : got rain?
I've only lived here for nine years but I don't ever recall this much rain in 72 hours. I have received reverse-911 calls four times this evening and various emergency vehicles are at several intersections less than three blocks away due to flooding. I'm high enough up a hill that it's not an issue but I won't need to be running my irrigation system for the lawn for the next few days! -my lawn may be knee-high by the weekend...

Oh... And two emergency notifications by phone that there is flooding......no shit!

Thank goodness we installed that french drain and sump pump last year or my family room would probably have 6 inches of standing water right now. Right where my computer sits.

Having been here my whole life, I can tell you that it used to be common to have afternoon rain showers consistently throughout summer. This completely dry and hot climate during summer was not the norm.
A week of heavy rain straight has happened before, but not frequently.
Yeah, I would say about 10-12ish years ago the afternoon shower was the norm. Nothing on a scale like this though.

Where are the damn mountain people?
Just heard train derailed in canyon up here.
Being told to get to higher ground. How the hell do you do that when you are top of a freakin mountain?
Milliken, backyard lawn in low quadrant under 4-5 inches of water. Damn window well had water a few inches up the glass. Toads swimming around. Bailed water and toads and that worked so I only ended up with a gallon or 3 on the floor. Water started to recede by bedtime at 5pm. Little worried what I'll come home from work to.

Ummm, look above. Boulder Creek is flowing about where is was during the spring run off. So is my front yard. [Roll1]
Some visitors are saying that 2 of the dam's have broke? Boulder ready to be wiped clean?
5 hours of rain, bit frightened window well full and leaking and I have power strips in the basement.
Pretty wet in Thornton when I left about an hour ago. My basement is slightly flooded. Add that to the ever growing list of shit I had planned to do this weekend.

Put strips up high and get a sump pump.
I don't think it will get enough water to where it drains into the sump. Also on the list of things I'm finding wrong with the house. The plastic cover to the sump has basically been sealed in by crappy concrete work. (I could chip away.)
Thank god the side with my main tanks/carpet/future entertainment center is on the high end. Will have to look into something to maybe raise the nice stuff an inch off the ground.

Im stuck and cant get home! Highway 34 up Big Thompson canyon closed due to mud and rock slides and the access road to my place also in same condition with a rock the size of a small car blocking it. Time to go rent a boat!
So it was 2 weeks back the schools were closed due to heat? Now they are closed due to rain.
Welcome to Seattle!
Wait were in Colorado , WTH is up with the monsoon season? Wish the rain was this heavy last spring.
Rafting season is not over.
Ugh, I must live in the wrong parts... Just light drizzle in my neck of the Springs... Would LOVE to have a major thunderstorm... Would NOT love to have to worry about flooding, damage, etc. Praying for some of y'all.

Wow, looks like storms faded/broke up about 15 miles west of us. Which is good, we are already more than saturated.
About 20 miles west I had to cross a couple flooded areas almost 2' deep on highway and saw some pretty serious crop damage and destroyed fields.
If the rain doesn't stop pretty soon some of the local farmers are going to take big hits on crop losses.

Got 3 emergency alerts on my phone in the middle of the night, scared the shit out of me.
Anyone up in my neck of the woods know if it is still raining at my place near 120th and Colorado?
It's barely drizzling in Aurora.
Ray,
9:11 and at 120th & I-25, all grey but no rain at the moment
Saint Vrain Valley School District is closed. 5 School parking lots under water, and the rain is coming down! The Saint Vrain river at Ken Pratt Parkway is 100 feet wide, Our Building is now being evacuated!!
They shut down our office today due to flood risk as well, Lefthand creek.
I take it the bike path along St Vrain is closed today :( There have been very convenient breaks in the rain all week between 4 & 5 for a nice ride.

A guy just called into KBPI and said it was raining hard at 88th and Colorado. Streets and basements flooded.
Ken Pratt bridge at saint vrain river now closed.
Isn't pickenup off coal creek? Anyone heard from him?
It is raining pretty good at 122nd and Huron. Leave it to Time Warner...they failed to put a lid back on their pipe running into our CPU/switch room from the street in the vault (area under the manhole cover). The hole filled up with water and the water ran through the pipe (conduit with Fiber run) going into our CPU/switch room and started to flood our room. 3 buckets, a shopvac, and 2 hours later we finally got the water below the pipe opening. Now we have folks out running around looking for pumps and Lowe's, Home Depot, and others are all sold out. Hopefully Walfart has one as we are running out of options.
Fun times indeed.
Also, over by the Adams County Fair grounds on 124th they have the road closed due to the river flooding. Just an FYI to everyone. They routed people over to 120th. I could not believe how much the river is over the banks in that area.

Yup. Thanks for asking.
Coal "Creek" is now Coal RIVER.
The highway is gone in places, they said not to expect to be able to travel Hwy 72 for at least a month.
They turned off the natural gas line. Some do not have electricity. Thankfully we still do.....for now.
We lost one bridge, hope the other holds up, or we will not be able to get out of the yard when they open the road.
At least a foot of standing water in the basement. Going to take the sump pump(s) a LONG time to empty that out.
Have not accessed the rest of the damages yet. And it is STILL RAINING. This isn't over yet.

In the 50+ years I've been here I don't recall ever seeing this much rain over this length of time. We get a lot of the all day soakers but two to three days of significant rains are not normal. I just dumped another 5" out of my rain gauge, I dumped 1-3/4" yesterday, that's almost 7" in 48 hours. And I live in Saudi Aurora as in dry desert.

27J just sent out a notification district wide that all after school activities have been cancelled.
For any parents that have kiddos in 27J,, here is what they sent in case you didn't get it:
Good afternoon 27J parents,
This is a district-wide message from School District 27J. First, we want you to know your students are safe and learning. We have chosen to cancel all after-school activities for today, Sept. 12. This includes athletic events and practices as well as parent teacher conferences. Afternoon kindergarten and pre-school will remain on normal schedules. After-school care programs will also maintain normal hours. If road closures impact bus transportation routes this afternoon and delay student drop-off, the 27J transportation department will communicate directly with families of impacted riders. We will continue to monitor any new developments. The safety of your student remains our first priority.
Thank you,
School District 27J
Thank you guys for the update in the Thornton area.

Holy crap, I was just out that way a couple weeks ago!
There's going to be a ton of stagnant water up here. Most of the flat lying area are accumulating mass amounts of water pretty quick.
This is right off of 88th and the flea market, buddy said that the flea market is the same. I drove past the plate river last night and it was about 4' away from the banks (maybe 10' of water), I might venture out and see where it is now. Normally it's really low about this time of year.
Stay Safe Guys!

Yeah Crave is good but I always feel like they are trying to give me a heart attack, Freddies is more like a heart arrhythmia.....
Anyway Freddies was good, Dave has a lovely wife and his friend Josh were great company! Very nice to met them, I hate eating alone and the Pooch was sleeping...

Okay, so I think it is just the trailer park management telling people that they should evac. They are .5 miles from the fishing pond on one side of the Platte. We are 1.054 miles from them.

Best heart attack you'll ever have...i stay away from the burger with donuts, that one is like having death on speed dial
Nevermind. Panicked mother-in-law just heard that people on 88th were evacuating, but I think it is further up North, probably closer to Colorado Blvd.
would it just be a good idea to invite over now...more rain expected tonite
I tried to explain that to sister-in-law, who said that everything was dry. The initial report was that Denver was going to get hammered again starting around 10:00 pm tonight (30 minutes), and that was when they expect more flooding. So of course things are okay now. The whole point of evacuation is to leave before it's too late. Not to get killed trying to leave when your car is already floating.
Parts of Johnstown closed, Milliken at main road through town and 257 closed/flooded. Had to go out east and up to get to 34 to make it to the hospital.
Well now the east end where I came to work is closed according to my roomate that was supposed to work at 4am. Not sure how I'm supposed to get back into town.
Anyone know about getting into Berthoud from I25 is that open? I was supposed to pick up an anemone but now I'm not sure if I would be able to get there or home. >.<

Hoping everyone is staying home today.
Spent the last half hour planning/researching route into office. Enough roads/highways are closed that everyone is going to be funnelled into the same roads. Traffic will probably be a nightmare. :banghead::banghead:

CNN just reported National Guard will he evacuating Lyons at daybreak

It has let up for now. We got hammered for about 4 hours straight after light/med on and off all night. The news reported my area got 12" over the last 24 hours.

Well now the east end where I came to work is closed according to my roomate that was supposed to work at 4am. Not sure how I'm supposed to get back into town.
Anyone know about getting into Berthoud from I25 is that open? I was supposed to pick up an anemone but now I'm not sure if I would be able to get there or home. >.<
From johnstown or work? If work go to 287 and come in from the west side of berthoud. If johnstown, south on 17 or 13 then west in to berthoud.
GF just texted that 34 and I25 is flooded? (Barely far enough I can't see it from work security poles)
I'm less worried about getting to Berthoud, but rather making it home. Don't want to pickup a very time sensitive critter and get stuck. Guess I'll have to go home first. (Which may involve all the way to HIghway 85 then down over up and over the back roads. (Since apparently the road north I took at 12am is now closed as well as Johnstown/257)

Yep just confirmed on the news I-25 is closed in both directions at 34 as Big Thompson flooding has reached the highway.

I seen the i-25 closed in two places. Did the houses flood they built in the dry river bottom just south of 34?

north on mc whinney, or what ever it is called to crossroads. east on CR to 17 or that road just east of walmart dist. it's dirt but across 34 (SB) is paved down to 402. 402 to east frontage road to 60. I don't recommend the frontage road from 34 as it will be a cluster. you're gonna have to zigzag to home base.

Hrm, would it be crass to make the connection that Tuesday we flattened Morse, Giron, and gun control in general, and today Drudge is showing "Wall of water flattens Boulder" and "NWS warned of biblical rainfall"? :P
If it's still open I was hoping 34 east to 83rd and south as it turns into 77/2 rivers on down to 60 and back into town. Supposedly barricades east end of town, but I'm sure I can get around. What sense would it be to brave the floods then stopped at the edge of dry town. (Well 60 in town flooded, but can go around it.)
Scared of what may be waiting in my basement.

Starting to see National guard blackhawks and a few others flying. Even saw the sun for a minute.
Anyone have info on a way into milliken? Roadblock guards radio'd others asking if there was a remaining way in and was told that it is isolated.
Anyone know how 76-70 heading up to the other side of Eisenhower is?

I guess 257 into Windsor is now closed, and south east Evans is getting some evac
How is it from Greeley to E-470 via 85?
Anyone know if you can get through to Blackhawk from Golden via HWY 6 and 119 at this point? Looks like there's closures but the online info I'm seeing is pretty old.

It appears to be open to Nederland and closed after that.

People, unless you have an emergency stay off the roads. Let the emergency personnel and CDOT do their jobs, stay out of their way and the job will get done faster.
Sniper, my neighbor has been camping on the other side of the divide for the past 9 days and they've hardly had any rain.

Wife was able to go down 49 and get to 76 then to E-470.

Got a call this morning from one of the full-time Sergeants at my WYARNG unit, we've got a warning order for coming down to do flood relief duties in Colorado.

Hwy 6 and Hwy 119 are open to Blackhawk and Nederland. Hwy 119 is open to Peaceful Valley/Camp Dick.
Pretty much everything else is closed.
Thunderstorm here now
At least the sun was out for long enough to take a walk.
