Last week, as many of you know, most of Colorado was underwater. Many areas were devastated with their homes being washed away and the roads literally breaking in half. People were stranded without electricity, water, or even the belief that they would survive through the day. Boulder was part of the chaos with parts of the Boulder Creek turning into what some may consider class V rapids. But…regardless of the risk factors and the chances of simply being washed away in a blink of an eye this was a historical event and therefore, all the boulderites were out and about photographing, tweeting, facebooking, and recording the “100 year flood” on some sort of electronic device, including me. I know there has been absolute struggle during this tragedy but I wanted to share some photographs I captured of the creek, the rapids, and some of the residents that were able to make light of a pretty dark event.
