Shaky dull in contrast and imagery - DOS 13 inches of rain fell in 3 days and turns the Colorado river valley into a watery sea of submerged towns and villages. Several lives are lost and damages run into the hundreds of thousands. Sign for Riverside Camp, flood waters are up to the roofs of the cabins (cottages).
