144 people died in the flood. A memorial was installed in 2001 to mark the 25th anniversary. 15 years after its installation, I finally went to see it.

There was a bit of a scare in the Big Thompson Canyon today. Emergency notifications were sent out to residents along the river to warn of four-feet of water that had broken through an ice dam. Thankfully the Larimer Sheriff now says those notifications are cancelled and everything int he canyon looks okay.
