Here is the video I recorded during the flooding, raw and unedited. It starts the morning of the first day, and footage taken the next day. It was hard to see the bridge once the water in the yard was too deep to wade into, and all the bushes in the way. For a couple of days I didn't know if the bridge was still there because the water was so high and I couldn't get a clear look at it.



There are plenty of other flood videos on YouTube - look for these key phrases: Big Thompson Flood 2013, Highway 34, Estes Park, Drake, Colorado Flooding 2013 (other rivers were involved, so they might come up)

Today I'm watching the snow falling. The house is reasonably warm, the cat is happy, and the birds are dining on corn bread that I made for them. 4 inches of snow has fallen, and is expected to continue overnight. The flakes are small, so it's not piling up very fast, which is good. Our humidity is very low this time of year.
