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.
It's pouring at 132nd and HuronQuote:

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.
pickenup: glad to hear you're safe at least.
May God help all affected during this time...
let me know if you need stuff - we can figure out how to get it to youQuote:

Same goes here. We can hike in supplies as needed.Quote:

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.
What is it like in Highlands Ranch? My son is supposed to have a football game this evening.
Hey now, that sounds like actual work!!!! Real muddy work at that.Quote:

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.

Lots of flooding on the West side of the Springs too.
Just an FYI to anyone impacted by the floods. If you have livestock you need to relocate PM me. I have 40 acres of pasture and I am more than willing to help.
Good luck to all impacted by this.
Wife left school early. Had to have the maintenance folks come and check on our back porch. It tends to pool water and not drain out towards the road.
Newracer, I can't believe anyone was alive inside that car!
He's gonna need a snorkel...Quote:

Stay safe out there!
here is my video I took while out by DIA yesterday

You need a new windshield and this is why they have to rescue people in their cars in floods.Quote:

This is crazy, I hope everyone stays safe!
Streets are 100% dry in Castle Rock.
Look at the radar, looks like we have some pretty severe weather heading our way...Quote:

Also, of course by the time I think to put a 5-gallon bucket outside, it's only drizzling. I wish I thought of that on Sunday.
I hear ya, its my weekend, but were on standby so I'm not going far from home...Quote:
