It's so sad when nature destroys lives and livelihood. I'm happy for
Keith and Val.

We may have some problems in late spring and summer. The snow pack in
many areas of the Colorado Rockies is already at 100% of the total for
a normal year. March is traditionally the snowiest month, so there's
going to be a lot of water coming down later on. All we will need is a
major summer rainstorm when the drainages are at peak flow. That's
what happened in Big Thompson Canyon in 1976.
