This is incredibly devastating, and reminds me of Eastern NC after Hurricane Floyd. People who never thought a natural disaster would happen to them. So scary and sad.

About the bridges and road work that will be needed: sometimes, mother nature requires us to invest in infrastructure improvements. Hope that they will make them assuming weather like this is the new normal. (As compared to what they do to NC 12 in the OBX, which tends to get rebuilt every year after hurricane season....doing the same thing and expecting a different result? Yes, many of us know what that means....)

From an article in our local paper yesterday:

As the result of last weekend's flooding, the list of destruction includes:

• 85 percent of U.S. 34 in the Big Thompson Canyon, including 25 bridges.
• 50 percent of Colorado 7 west of Lyons, including two bridges.
• 40 percent of U.S. 36 between Lyons and Estes Park, including 10 bridges.
• 20 percent of Colorado 119 between Boulder and Nederland, including six bridges.

Overall, 200 lane-miles of state highway and 50 bridges need repair or replacement, according to Tim Harris, chief engineer for the Colorado Department of Transportation.

There will not be an idle road construction crew around here for quite a while!
