So much water-September 13, 2013

It is Friday, the 13th. There is water everywhere. Roads are closed. Bridges are washed away. We are on higher ground so we are safe, but we are essentially stuck where we are. We cannot go anywhere. Good thing we have food or we'd be in trouble. In fact I feel like cooking something good. Something chocolate. Interstate 25 is closed from Denver to the Wyoming border. The Big Thompson is raging over the interstate just as it did with that horrible flood in 1976 when 150+ people were killed. So it is not a shock to our senses. There are dozens and dozens of houses in that particular spot that were not there for that huge flood. At the very least they have basements full of nasty water. We will not be moving this coach in the next few days. We would only sink in the mud. So, we'll sit tight. We will have to wait until after the roads are open to see just how much damage has been done. Who ever thought a state that's classified as semi-arid would almost wash away? The power of water is awesome. There is a lesson to be learned from this. It will be interesting to see what it is.
