This article and the next one really made me realize what a devastating disaster this was. Since 1991 my husband and I have enjoyed visiting this area, but I was unaware of the flood until a few years ago. We have visited Glen Haven several times. It is a lovely little town and any effects of the flood are unnoticeable to an uninformed visitor.

Thank you for writing the articles. Your first person account was particularly interesting. I am so glad your daughter pressed on to safety.

Hi Linda,
After I published the articles, I showed them to Anna, and she gave me more details of her drive up the canyon and on to Central City. It was even worse than she told me at the time. Probably best that I didn't know all of it right then.
