FEMA isn't exactly the best govt department. If they are helping map the area like FEMA was needing to do anyhow, then they should be reacting with thanks not impolite gestures.

Don't know about anybody else, but I'm fine, thanks. I'm outside of Longmont about 9 miles. Boulder creek is on the other side of the road, which did suffer some wash-away. Boulder creek, the St. Vrain and the Big Thompson were all flowing at 3000 cfs. Figure out how many gallons in a cubic foot and that's a butt-load of water. Nice and sunny now, no more rain in the forecast.
