"Lyons, a small town of 2,000 near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, was cut off by what city officials described as a 500-year flood. They took to Facebook to urge residents to prepare for up to three days on their own."
Three days? Where is FEMA??? Where is the National Guard?? Where is Obama the anointed one??? Can't he stop the rain and the floods??

It sucks, but three days is OK if you have water. There’s plenty of water....

Okay... send in the 160th SOAR and Coast Guard.

I've never seen anything like it here. It's not thunderstorms, just steady, driving rain.
I'm sure the cool and rainy weather somehow proves global warming, though.

Everything considered, the people there are probably hoping they remain isolated.

More than half a foot of rain is a 500 year flood?

You’ve got, um, some water around you, and maybe you should conserve your food, but certainly make sure you’re spending your time on facebook, as that’s our chosen method of communication with people cut off from all civilization...
Yep, you can’t make this stuff up anymore. Real life is just that far beyond the horizon now.

I was just stranded a few miles out of Needles on my way to Vegas by flash floods in front and immediately behind me. Luckily I had rented a 4 wheel drive Suburban and as the water ebbed slightly I was able to make it through the wall of water and a surprising wall of mud. It scared my girlfriend so badly she refused to drive home and took a plane back to San Diego.

Rescuers can't reach people stranded by Colorado flooding... They should be able to just alt+backspace out of the problem.

Most folks in Lyons are good solid country folk with the occasional hippy thrown in. At least a quarter of the population are prepared if not out right preppers. Three days wont be a big deal at all.

Fort Collins/Loveland is ok except for roads which pass over Big Thompson and Poudre rivers.
I25 is closed outside of Loveland and all bridges over Poudre are closed.
Communication with Estes Park is by ham radio only.
