Colorado has been getting hit with torrential downpours the past week.
We have flooding all over the area, and while my own family and friends
are safe from danger, there are many people who are missing, a few who
have lost their lives, and many who have lost everything that they own.
It's scary how powerful the roaring waters can be and there's no way to
stop it once it does get moving.

Mr Wonderful has been dealing with some
of the disaster from a water standpoint (sounds kinda funny in this
situation, huh?). He's a water operator for a multitude of small water
systems here in the metro area and he has been working hard making sure
that his clients have clean drinking water. For instance, last night he
ended up leaving at 9pm and didn't get home until after 3:30 this
morning! Several of his plants are in the danger zone and they've had to man one of them almost non-stop to keep filters clean and the pumps working. They are waiting to check on the other ones, but are currently unable to because of the washed out roads.

| It's just so sad to watch the devastation and think about all the families that have lost their homes, their properties, cars, pets, etc. To see it so close to us makes me consider the value of what we have/own. I want to go through stuff and get rid of the unnecessities. |

We're expecting more rain tonight... additional downpours actually. Even our yard can't handle any more moisture. So we'll see what additional damage happens tomorrow morning. Keep your thoughts and prayers headed this way! There are a lot of people here that need it!
