From a downtown Denver webcam that faces northwest, the ominous leading edge of our next big storm is obvious. It has been sunny all afternoon in north Denver, but at 4:30 pm we started getting new storm and flash flood warnings. The storm is currently dropping heavy rain and hail across south Denver, Aurora, and Centennial and is moving north into areas that have been battling flooding since Wednesday night. The current warning extends through 7 pm, and rain totals in some areas have already exceeded 4″.

Oh my. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you guys PT. 😕
Thanks. We need all the help we can get. This is getting ridiculous.
The webcam shot reminded me of this scene from Independence Day:
Wow. Let’s hope the deluge stops and as many as possible stay safe and well with property intact.
They were saying this would all clear by tomorrow. Then they pushed it to Tuesday. 🙁
