It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Colorado has recently been hit with devastating rain that has resulted in horrible flooding, damage to homes, businesses, roads and most important lives. Multiple people lost their lives during these monsoon like storms that took out roads with ease – there are still 60 or so people unaccounted for at this moment. Sad. Horrifying. Unreal.
The pictures really show the damage and the mess that multiple counties are now having to deal with. Not to mention the cost – cuz guess what? Colorado is not in a flood plain…which means no flood insurance! I cannot imagine seeing your home washed down a river and know that you will be paying outright for the rebuilding and missing items. Makes me tear up just thinking about what those people must be feeling even weeks after the floods began.
Living in Colorado and seeing the rain come down in sheets and see the ongoing warnings and closings all around us was terrifying. We were so lucky, no damage at all. Our neighbor’s weren’t so lucky, their basement flooded. They still have a standing home though. In our area we got 8 inches of rain in a matter of 2 days. Up north they got 8 inches in a couple of hours! Seriously! What in the world?
So now…what can we do to help these folks, some who have lost everything.

If possible I will put this on my car if it can't go there then I will add it to my phone or tablet. Something that I carry with me everywhere and people see so I can share the story and ask for prayers and support for Colorado.
