Ongoing rain in the flood-ravaged state this weekend has forced more evacuations and hampered rescue efforts.
"This is a 500-to-1,000-year flood," Sean Conway, a commissioner of rural Weld County, said at a news conference.
The National Guard called Saturday's rescue efforts to save those stranded by the floods the biggest helicopter resuce effort since Hurricane Katrina.
The masive flooding prompted by record rainfall, which some have called "biblical," has swollen creeks and rivers, collapsing bridges and dams, and cutting off highways and destroying roads.
"This is clearly going to be a historic event," National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini toldClimate Central's Andrew Freedman. "The true magnitude is really just becoming obvious now."

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
