East of Denver, Aurora, Commerce City up to Boulder, Longmont and Estes park had the rain train over and over. Huge battle thursday morning from 4 am until 3 pm. At least 8+ inches fell during that time frame. I needed 2 water pumps and snow shovel of water to battle mother nature the entire time. Some areas had no chance. ie boulder county. So many neighbors ended up with wet basements and damage.
