Boulder Colorado Post-Flood Photos - Topaz Drive, One Week After the Flood Waters Hit

The Echols' house at Topaz and 26th Street (see yesterday's flood photo)

East end of Topaz Drive; the water pushed the shed through a fence and hedge

What's left of Topaz Drive, proceeding west from 26th

We're still being covered by television news

Topaz Drive is on this side of the mud berm

Some of the fill, where residents are using silt and mud to fill in the rift in Topaz

All of the above photos were taken today, Thursday, 19 September 2013 about 9:30 in the morning.  Four Mile Creek over-flowed its' banks at 8:20 p.m. on Wednesday, 11 September, and spread out to the east, covering 6 square blocks...  Four Mile Creek is a seasonal creek, and is usually dry 40 weeks of the year.
