The sight of this is just amazing and disappointing as well. We have been working on making sure information is available after these flood waters recede. To give you an idea of how much water is passing by, at it's peak at Fort Morgan, 50,100 cubic feet of water per sec was flowing down river and that is probably on the low side. To give you an idea of what that is, it's more than 1 acre-foot of water every second. Take an area 210 feet by 210 feet, one foot over water would fill that area every second so in 1 minute it would be 60 feet tall.
