Preparing for the Worst but Hoping for the Best!
Our little town high up in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado has been in full swing preparing for a disaster. What started out as a mild winter suddenly turned very strange.The snowfall totaled up in early Spring to be 38 ft., that's 200% above normal snowfall. Little Lake City ( pop. 378) is down in a deep valley with only one road running through it. It is surrounded by high mountains, five of those peaks reaching over 5,000 ft.
Sorry for the crude map, but wanted to give you a visual. We have two bodies of water coming through town (wavy lines). They converge in almost the center of town. The Lake Fork of the Gunnison River flows north from Lake San Cristobal, and Henson Creek flows down from the mountains, coming into town from the west. There isn't a lot of concern about the river since the dam is controlling the water flow. The anticipated problem is Henson Creek. You see there were numerous avalanches that have blocked the creek higher up.. The downed trees, boulders and frozen ice have caused dams all along the creek. With rising temperatures these ice blocks are melting. We are hoping that with the work of several state and national crews who are feverishly trying to clear the blockage it will save our little town...but just in case,
thousands of sandbags have been filled and
historic homes have been wrapped with plastic like bouquets of flowers.
We depend on tourism here, and even if the flood doesn't happen, the vacationers have been scared away. Photo taken at 10am this morning. All of this is supposed to come to a head in the next two weeks, hopefully in time to salvage what will be left of the summer season.
I hope the efforts to clear the blockage go smoothly.

ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteOh good grief, fighting the mighty powers of water...
We ended up on a different long boat due to high waters in Germany where our boat could not pass underneath the bridge... so we got sent another one to Budapest.
Hugs,
Mariette
