I was listening to NPR early Monday evening when most of Colorado was tuned into the Broncos-Raiders game. A rancher was telling listeners about how his field was under 7-feet of water. This was land cows grazed - or used to. When this Weld County man talked about losing several of his livestock - the herd was forced to tread water for much of the day - well, I did what any cattleman's daughter would do. I cried.

I've heard some call this unnatural natural event the Great Flood of 2013. "Great" doesn't quite do it, does it? What happened here, starting on Friday the 13th, is beyond words.
