    I remember this day very well! I live in Lakewood. I watched this on TV and I went to go to the store. It was raining so much the grass was just drenched and slippery.
    I fell and broke my knee cap and leg in 2 other places. I will never forget this day!

    The power house at 2:18 and the dam that fed it via pipeline at 3:20 were both torn out as the dam shifted off its foundation and the power house was filled with silt and the ground next to it dropped by 5 feet by the time the river calmed down. The power line running through the canyon also had to be replaced in enough places the city opted for a complete system rebuild and upgrade (the final stage to be completed in November 2019). The cabin at 4:55 that was undercut by the river (in spite of it sitting on massive boulders) is now gone except for the chimney, but the other two just uphill are still in place, one having been there since 1912 according to a sign in street view.

    When that cabin was built back in the early 1900's, that road wasn't there (at least not in the form of a nicely paved highway) so that "stream" was most likely much farther away from the cabin back then. The building of the road probably moved the flow of the creek to much closer than it was originally.

    I was is 8th grade living just outside of Boulder when the floods happened. Had 4 "snow" days off in a row, more snow days then the rest of middle school and high school combined! Thats Boulder County for you. My schools baseball field was under like 2 or 3 feet of water, I remember swimming in it and then finding a 40lb carp fish on the sidewalk. And a bridge collapsing. Despite the damage and tragedy I found it fascinating.

    Water is not only extremely heavy, it's also incompressible which makes it act more like a solid object when it slams into someone or something. Fast moving water has gigantic kinetic energies.
    People may not realize that on the whole every year flash floods kill more people than tornadoes do.

      I agree. I was always more afraid of fire. But with our more extreme weather systems worldwide......I find the destructive power of water more destructive.

  • @daveeyes
    @daveeyes 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I was not very far Northeast of this ( at CSU ) in 1976.
    The big pipe you see here is the water feed for Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins. It was reduced to twisted metal.
    Horsetooth drained down so far that we could drive on the bottom where the lake had been. Since that's a town water supply things got sorta tense.
    On each canyon bank, the water banked up, and rose to incredible height.
    It took around a year of repairs for even a gravel road to be put back in.
    When "Kindly Old Mother Nature" cuts loose, get out of the way!

  • @Renville80
    @Renville80 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The park at 2:09 has been completely revamped and the power plant and substation are now gone (the entire hydro project from the dam a mile upstream to this plant was totaled by the flood and the municipal power company is now rebuilding and modernizing the line through the canyon). The flood eventually undercut the slab the green transformers were sitting on and exposed the plant’s foundation. The dam at 3:23 had its reservoir silted in and likely got separated from the bedrock.

    My sister lives in Boulder, CO. I went see her last weekend and damage from the floods is still evident- trees down around the river banks, etc. Where I lived we received a year's worth of rain in 3-4 days. I've lived in CO my whole life and I've never seen rain like that.

    I had just moved away from Drake on the Big Thompson on the 6th of July, 1976, just a few weeks later the dam broke just East of Estes Park. That wiped out much of the canyon...

  • @xXRockman1Xx

    At 3:10 there was a place called Indian Village. They used to sell a lot of cool stuff. That whole corner you see is all washed away, only the sign remains. I don't think the store will ever come back either. They have been there since the 70's.

    I live in Loveland, and drive that route frequently to Estes park.. you can still see the damage on the sides of the canyon where that water just ate the walls of it..that was wild! that water went way far down that canyon and into Loveland, I cant believe its been almost 8 years already, they've done wonders to improve that canyon road since..every time it rains hard I think about that.

    I was in the area in the seventies. In 1976 i was on vacation. I wanted to see the garden of the gods. What was so special about that attracted my grandparents to see it every year. I never found out why. The road was closed that weekend in 1976 so i went home to nebraska. When i came home i found out the disaster that weekend.

  • @ellaumbrella28
    @ellaumbrella28 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    yes still raining, some parts are rain really hard still, like in Aurora! Some roads that take you into the mountains have slid down the mountain side and have bee destroyed and theres water than can reach up to your thighs/waist in some areas of colorado, in most parts its just major flooding! Rushing overflowing rivers, ponds and lakes over flowing, drains and sewers over flowing, gutters and uneven parts of roads are flooded etc, like i said, its like a tsunami hit!

    Water is amazing and powerful stuff! Thanks for posting the video. Hope you all got out of there okay.
    Just want to point out for everyone, look very closely at the tracks from the minivan at 5:00 and how gravel is piled up BEHIND the front wheels. Those tracks were made because the car was parked there and one of the folks on the scene later hooked up and dragged it backwards away from the washout area. So the car DID almost go into water, but not while anyone was driving at least, whew!

    6:55 I must say, this video is making me miss the good ole days when I used to deal with this sort of thing constantly, you NEVER camped near rivers, and you always listened for the incoming flash flood sound aka Cascade Mountains near Seattle. When you deal with glaciers, and lot's of snow while being close to a VERY active volcano, and you're pretty much the ONLY temperate rainforest in the world, you get taught this stuff from birth lol Since there is no just going for a little hike, unless you don't mind dying of hypothermia, falling through dead wood masquerading as forest floor, and getting taken out by flash floods. Oh and that's just my backyard. lol

    Just read KarenSDR's post, and though I wasn't there in '76 I had been to Estes Pk three times in two preceding years ('72,'73 and '74) and was familiar with this place and couldn't imagine the damage. This current rain induced flood is bad, but not as bad for the Big T, at least so far.Unfortunately others are feeling this elsewhere, Boulder for example. I was told by a Park Ranger in Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park that a damn had burst inside the park, causing the event in '76.

      After seeing what happened in the Grantham floods in 2011 I would never live within 500 metres of a river/dam/waterway of any sort and it would have to be 500 metres up hill as well.

    we were completely cut in a half as a whole town because of that water, my dad was stuck in nederland hunting as the flood happened, I have found multiple dead horses cows and huge peices of ranch equipment, to this day loveland is still cleaning up from this and rebuilding!

    This flood was terrible in some lakes. There's a lake I live near called Utah Lake despite not being in Utah, there's these benches with roofs, and the roof p's are around 10 feet about lake level. And the flood made enough water to get water up right next to the roof.

    Is this the canyon highway that runs between CO Springs and Durango?
    If so, traveled on it years ago. Looks like the same area / familiar.

    I remember this. I was interviewing for my current job up in Fort Collins when it was happening. The next day we went to Denver, but we had to go east to go south because of the water running over I25.

      The water eventually got almost to Nebraska. This was a huge flood.
