holy crap... I've never seen flooding this bad in my entire life. Of course, over 95% of my life has been in desert areas, so of course I wouldn't see flooding like this.

Streets here in the metro, BIG heavily-traveled roads, are being shut down, whole towns along the front range, are being evacuated.. most of Boulder has been shut down... the US Coast Guard is being sent here w/their helicopters to rescue people...

amazing. Simply amazing. My phone keeps getting the big NWS warnings of flash flooding in my area. Me personally, I'm very safe as I'm on a kind-of-a-hill. But some others, damn.

It's pretty much stopped raining here. It's rained for over 24 hours straight, with little breaks here & there of like 30-60 minutes. But it'll be starting up again according to the radar. We need it desperately, but I guess this shows the state just how horrible our infrastructure truly is and how badly we need our roads & bridges rebuilt.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
