Coming home from Boulder last night, we were treated to the sight of a huge thunderstorm to the north. The sky was flashing and booming right over the Loveland area, causing flooding of both rivers, lakes, and the town. More flooding is almost a certainty after last year's catastrophic flood. Damage like that cannot be healed in mere months. The fires, of which there were many, denuded large areas in the mountains, adding more water to the watershed as the snowpack begins to melt. Still, the storm was beautiful.
After several days of severe thunderstorms along the Front Range, today was a welcome respite. Colorado is lush and people are outside enjoying the moderate temperatures. The major weather events make the national news but hundreds of perfect days like today are why we live here.
