Tremendous flooding that began on Wednesday along Colorado's Front Range has spurred major evacuations in the area. Some areas received up to 15 inches of rainfall and the extreme weather, at time of writing, had reportedly taken the lives of four people. Many roads are still closed and danger persists as meteorologists forecast heavy storms throughout the weekend.
Instragram users near the flooded areas and professional photographers captured awe-inspiring scenes of the devastating flood (the photos we included above and the videos below are mostly from Boulder, Colo., which was hit hard by the storms).
Some Instagram users caught video footage of the water aggressively flowing through the city:


According to a CNN report, Fire Chief J.J. Hoffman wrote on the Lyons Fire Protection District's Facebook page: "We will make it through this, we are here for you and doing the absolute best we can with the resources we have to get to each and every one of you!"

Due to "safety issues," the Boulder Office of Emergency Management told Denver's ABC 7 News, those wanting to lend a hand "should not self deploy" and "stay tuned for ways to help."
Organizations like the Salvation Army and the Boulder Valley Human Society are currently taking donations, however. Information is available here.
