The Big Thompson was JUST about to burst again and they caught it just in time to open up the damn to relieve the water. The city of Lyons is completely cut off by the outside world, no way in or out of town. I heard Loveland was divided into 2 cities, North and South, by a river in the middle of town that flooded so badly that all the roads/bridges that crossed over it were gone. Every street in Aurora (where I live) had a river down down the side of it, some 3 lane streets were reduced to a half of a lane (or completely closed) with 6-10" of water in the remaining lane. Some cars were stalled out in the right in road in different parts of town in what had to be 18" of standing water. One intersection had 3 cars stalled out with water 1/3 of the way up the doors on one little car. Hopefully it's not so disastrous driving to work this morning.
