My nephew told me they got some heavy rain and hail about a week, or so, ago. Manitou Springs and Ute Pass had some flooding and wash out from the Waldo Canyon burn.

You are lucky you didn't get caught in that.

I was staying at the Eagle Motel in Manitou Springs. I was lucky not to be on the mountain when the storm came, but I did have to wait until they cleared some of the mud slides before I could get something for dinner. The vast majority of Manitou Springs businesses had shut down with the evacuation.
