Flash Flood

Heavy rains made their way through parts of western Colorado today and led to flooding in parts of the Paradox Valley.

We're very fortunate in the Grand Junction area when it comes to extreme weather. No hurricanes here. If we have an earthquake, it's barely strong enough to wake up a squirrel. Kansas and Oklahoma would laugh at us if we complained about the rare tornadoes that we experience. Flash flooding is a completely different story though. Just ask the residents of Naturita.

Tuesday evening around 6 pm a flash flood hit in the Colorado National Monument along Monument Road in the east side of the park.
