A Calamity Strikes Colorado

Recently a calamitous event has ravaged the area near Denver in Colorado. The likelihood of such an event happening was one to one thousand. An event like this is supposed to occur one time in every thousand years to pass. In three days alone the amount of precipitation that was supposed to fall in half a year fell. This led to flooding on a huge scale. Already existing bodies of water increased in size and mud moving at a rapid pace became an issue in steep locations. The results of this torrent of water have been bad. Ten people have lost their lives to this wave of chaos. The whereabouts of one hundred and forty people are still a mystery and one thousand and eight hundred people lost their property. This resulted in near two billion dollars worth of wreckage.
This was quite the travesty that took place in Colorado, and we should remember them when we pray.
