[11:16:26 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> since we hardly ever get real rain storms
[11:17:33 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> geez
[11:17:53 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> its strange because we'd get soakers similar to theses back east all the time, the rain totals are not that unusual at all
[11:18:08 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> but what happens is, the rain funnels down from the mountains, and hits the streams that overflow their banks
[11:18:18 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> also since there is no vegetation keeping the ground in place, there are hug mud slides
[11:18:58 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> a few major roads have just washed away in some junctions, pretty wild
[11:19:27 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> I-25 (similar to PHX's I-15) is just closed at places
[11:19:36 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> so its pretty chaotic out there
[11:19:48 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> or is it I-5 in PHX?
[11:19:54 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> i forget
[11:20:08 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> maybe I-15 is in SLC
[11:21:06 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> we've got a 10 and a 17
[11:22:03 CDT(-0500)] <js70> Colorado sounds like California without the ocean.
[11:22:24 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> yeah similar do the mudslides and stuff you see out there
[11:23:20 CDT(-0500)] <TonyUnicon> ever been down to Manitou Springs Jim? That road that leads up to pikes peak is basically gone
[12:02:51 CDT(-0500)] <js70> Wow, things are changing. Yeah, isn't their a railroad that goes up to pikes peak. We did that.
