2. Many thanks for the wonderful post

I'm trying to let me friends and family around the nation know what this flood is like but it's hard to describe the suffering and the destruction in our beautiful Colorado. My dear family survived Katrina so they have seen worse but the size and scope of this flood, the towns isolated and the roads gone to the mountain towns and the small towns on the plains is far beyond anything I have ever known, though I lived here during the Big Thompson disaster in 1976.
It is ironic that the some of the counties most affected and receiving the most aid are ones that want to secede from Colorado and we can only hope that they will learn from this flood. But thanks for reminding us how much we have to be thankful for and that when we need to care for our neighbors we do not ask how they voted.
