Jefferson County communities are continuing to recover from the #JeffcoFlood. Today, September 17, 2013, public information officers with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office accompanied emergency personnel as they rescued three families in Coal Creek Canyon (Highway 72).
The rescue of the families included the rescue of their furry companions. The first family rescued was accompanied by three Irish Wolfhounds named Tully, Pi & Oscar. The second family brought with them 1 Black Labrador Retriever puppy named Gauge. The final family carried out their Maltese, named Zoey, and a cat named Eleanor. These families and their pets had not left their homes in days.
During the rescue the residents shared some of their stories. One family explained how, due to the gas outage in the area, the three families could not cook on their stoves so they gathered together to share crock-pot, microwave, and bbq recipes. One of the rescued residents also shared how she and her daughter received moral support from other family members who had lived through Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
The pictures in these albums do not only chronicle the rescue that took place today in Coal Creek Canyon. These pictures do not only show damages along Coal Creek Canyon. These pictures do not only share the damage sustained to buildings in the area. These pictures also show the resilience of our Jefferson County communities.
