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!

Did you tell that dude to put on some damn shoes! That's freaking crazy.

So actually how Big is a Cubic? Blueprints call for cubics...
Just heard the poudre is gonna flood. The Thompson isn't much better.
Starting to spread out now, Colorado Springs is beginning to have a tough time, multiple closures and rescues ongoing..

Bear Creek above Evergreen usually averages a discharge rate of 30 to 40 cubic feet per second. As of 1800MDT it was near 400 CFS. I've never seen water flowing over the damn like I did earlier today.
I was evacuated from my shop at about 2pm. Took them a few times to tell me. Shop will probably in water by midnight if it keeps going.
prayers to everyone involved in this.
Listen to the album again, its a "Cubit", not a "Cubic"Quote:

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.Quote:
