Pilgrim?

[Lightyear]

Anyone heard from Pilgrim?

If I'm not mistaken this mess is taking place in his backyard:

I certainly hope he's on high ground - I doubt many people in Boulder have flood insurance.

I'm ok...We have had over 10" of rain at home but no flooding in my area even though the campus at CSU  closed Friday. I think that was because all major roads were closed and people couldn't get to campus. I'm out of town...flew out Thursday but our house was ok. Hope it still is..We had a lot of rain yesterday. Both daughters live inn the area but not in flooded areas. Boulder got swamped...highway to Estes Park fell into the river...all major north-south roads closed. Hoping for more sunshine! A friend of mine knows a young man who drowned trying to escape a swamped car..his girl friend is missing too.

Thanks for your good wishes. We seem to be out of the worst zone by about 30 miles n

Good to hear to you guys are OK.

I feel for the folks who are in the worst of it - I've been there and done that and, trust me, it sucks very hard.

 You need to move to the Palouse Al  



Pullman, Colfax and Moscow are calling.

[Lightyear]

I hear it rains some in those parts 

My wife wants to retire here:

I figure she would make it 3 months tops but at least there wouldn't be much in the way of floods

[Pilgrim]

I've heard from both daughters in the past few minutes and all are still ok.

I'm IN the Palouse right now..going to the Wazzu game tomorrow...90 degrees and sunny today.

I spent 13 years in Texas and will not return other than to be a tourist. Not a cultural fit for me. I agree about 3 months.

 It's been an awesome Washington Summer!

Have a great day Al!

[Pilgrim]

GO COUGS!

Glad you're all safe.

From my younger son tonight: "Arrived in Denver just in time for a once-in-a-quarter-century flood. Impeccable timing!"

[Highlander]

Minor flooding in places over here but nothing like that as of yet... global warming raining...

The only room in the house with potential for seepage is this one with my basses in it..but they are all at least 4 inches off the floor and the worst I think could happen is damp carpet. The heavy rains before we left created no problems at all. I think it will be ok.

Good to hear!  Stay high and dry!

[Lightyear]

So where does all of this runoff wind up?  Does it head towards Lake Mead?  I've read several things lately that say that Lake Mead could be dry in the next 25 years.

 I *think* Lake Mead is on the wrong side of the Rockies, Buzz
