SW Colorado Flooding

I wish you luck and am hoping for the best!

I’m on high ground but seeing significant flooding in town. Looks like a west side neighborhood completely flooded. I have a client that posted a total loss. We got through last week without much damage compared to other communities but not this time.

Man, watching all of this and hoping the best for you and your community.

We just got power back. Not having running water sucks. Everything else I can manage but my little Honda generator won’t fire the 220 cistern pump.

Went into town today. Things were running semi normal. Like 70% traffic, most businesses open. I didn’t check Main Street. Still a handful of road closures. One out by me but I’ve just driven through anyway. It’s just water on the road.

Looks like it will be awhile before you can travel between Pagosa and Durango. They have it worse than us. 550 north is also closed currently. Rolling through Telluride is the only route in from the north.

I’m hoping moving forward it’s snow until late spring.

Glad you have electricity back. Consider this early training for the upcoming armaggedon.

Please don’t remind me.

CR250, runs up the east edge of the valley north of town. If any of you have ever been to the show at Bar D this it the road you take to get there.

hopefully youre through the worst of it now. Post reminds me of when hurricane Helene hit out here in nc. Glad to hear it might not be nearly as bad.

This is some really wild stuff. Makes me glad I live on a mountain top and not right next to a river.
@TacoDane was sharing some pictures and videos with me from Florida yesterday. They're dealing with the same issues where he lives. He's been trying to help pull people out of the floods.

Yes with the King tide and heavy local rain, we are having quite a few areas in south Florida that under water or flooding.

WOW! Suddenly an 80 on 35's was worth every expense!

I spent a couple hours filling sandbags at the fairgrounds today. The line of pick-ups staged for bags was a couple hundred yards long. We filled a truck about every minute. All local volunteers with DPD directing operations.

The north valley is in rough shape. I believe HWY 550 is now closed.

Pagosa is pretty much cut off from the world. HWY 160 between here and there has a bridge failure over the Piedra River. Not sure what the solution there is other than full replacement. Have not heard a recent update on Wolf Creek Pass.

Piedra River, US HWY 160 between Durango and Pagosa.



East side of Wolf Creek Pass.

Couple more of the Piedra bridge.

Not Durango but a bridge I often use. Comb Wash west of Bluff.
