Flooding Photos

If you have been watching TV coverage of the Colorado floods, chances are you have seen this now iconic image of Greeley resident Tommy Meyer leading his horses to safety as the south Platte River crested its banks and flooded his farm. We got a chance to catch up with him after the storm and capture his story.

As with every almost every disaster situation, heroes in our community and beyond have stepped up to lend a helping hand; the Colorado floods are no exception.

We are seeing conditions improve and roads are beginning to re-open, however many in Weld County still remain flooded. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has now re-opened both directions of I-25 in all areas that were previously closed.

Estes Park was cut off from all communication with the outside world, but as conditions improve we are getting a look at the aftermath from the small community. Here are some of the pictures from the area that we have seen so far.

The devastation being wrought on by this floodwater is almost incomprehensible. Highway 34 has pretty much been completely washed out above Loveland's Dam Store in the Big Thompson Canyon.

Loveland was split in two by floodwaters from the Big Thompson River last night, and crews are currently working to reopen north-south access. City fire, police, utilities and public works crews, staged both on the north and south sides of the river, are working to maintain services to residents...

The flood waters that caused the Big Thompson River and Poudre River to rise last night are causing problems with roadways and bridges in Northern Colorado. Many major arteries including I-25 have been shut down, and in the towns of Fort Collins and Loveland virtually every bridge that crosses these major rivers is now closed.

Here is photos from the flood hitting Lyons.

The rain has not really stopped for three days now and it is taking its toll on Colorado. Pictures are flooding in from all over the state and we've compiled the best ones here.
