The day after the floodwater crested on the St. Vrain river I went down to the edge of the flood zone to see what the damage looked like. The city has been divided into two parts by up to a quarter of a mile or more of water in places. Sinkholes have formed in some places that have swallowed cars. The floods dropped an old tricycle into the parking lot of the Enterprise car rental center. It was very surreal how everyone just ignored it sitting in the center of the parking lot. The shot of the child at the edge of the flood waters summed things up for me.
