Flooding Update

The flooding in our area is getting worse. I can't believe all the rain. Just today Powers was shut down from Barnes road to South Carefree and Galley from Powers to Academy. Gary had a meeting at church that was canceled because no one could get there. 
The damage is evident all over the city and going north it gets worse. 

We are going to Estes Park in October next year with my in laws, this is a picture of the road leading in. :( 

Here is some information on the current conditions. 

- 200 miles of affected area, including 15 counties
- 17,494 homes damaged, 1,502 destroyed
- 5 people confirmed dead, 1,253 reported missing
- 11,700 people evacuated
- 1,872 people staying in shelters



Please give to Convoy of Hope, they do amazing work through the country and have been prominent in disaster recovery. 
On your donation you can specify Colorado Fire/Flooding relief.

    Probably a good thing we're not planning that trip for this October! Prayers for the people in Colorado going through all this. God bless.
