Historic flooding in southwest Colorado

The Colorado Congressional delegation has asked President Trump to respond to Gov. Jared Polis’s request for an expedited Presidential Major Disaster Declaration following devastating and historic flooding and debris flows in southwestern Colorado and the San Luis Valley. The delegation said the request pertains to the initial flooding on Oct. 22-25, the plea came in the midst of a second catastrophic flooding event across the same region, which adds urgency to their request. These impacts, they wrote, are compounded by the damaging flooding in October 2025, which have seriously strained available resources for recovery for previously affected communities.

Colorado Farm Markets Worth Visiting Before Thanksgiving For Fresh Holiday Ingredients

One Colorado farm stand sells bison, veal, and pheasant right alongside its squash and roasted chilies. I did not expect a produce market to double as a game counter, and I love that surprise. The fun keeps going across the state. One family farm has been growing vegetables since 1949.

8 Sea Monsters That Once Swam Above Modern Colorado

It is wildly strange to imagine that the air above Denver’s skyscrapers was once a warm, shallow sea packed with gigantic, sharp‑toothed reptiles. Yet for millions of years during the Late Cretaceous, roughly the time of the last dinosaurs on land, much of what is now Colorado lay beneath the Western Interior Seaway, an ocean ... Read more

10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants close in 4 states as franchisee files Chapter 11

Out West Restaurant Group closed 10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nevada before filing for Chapter 11. Few moments unsettle a regular diner faster than pulling into a familiar parking lot and finding the windows dark and the doors locked. Casual chain restaurants hold a particular place in American routines. Families book them for birthdays, teams pile in after weekend games, and tired couples treat them as dependable fallbacks when nobody wants to cook. A shuttered location erases one of those habits without warning. The loss leaves nearby guests wondering whether their own favorite spot will go next. Workers lose the shifts they counted on. Each closing ripples past the people who used to order dinner there.

Colorado’s night skies to feature ‘can’t miss celestial event,’ multiple meteor showers and a supermoon in November

With the end of daylight saving time, dusk comes sooner in November — and the nights will only grow longer as the height of winter approaches. But for Colorado astronomy guide Mark Laurin, the early darkness is welcome, because it means that stargazing can once again become an evening hobby that anyone can enjoy rather than a midnight indulgence only for night owls.

Flood warnings on the Purgatoire, Arkansas Rivers: an inch and a half of rain on the wettest ground in a century

Two rivers in southeast Colorado carried flood warnings into Friday morning, and neither of them was fed by the mountains. The Purgatoire River near Las Animas crested at 10.46 feet about 2 p.m. Thursday, a foot and a half over minor flood stage, after rising from a trickle in a few hours before dawn. The Arkansas River at Lamar passed bankfull at 10.14 feet just after midnight Friday, with Prowers County emergency management reporting water in low ground along the river Thursday afternoon. The cause was a single night of rain, Wednesday into Thursday, that fell on ground still soaked from the wettest October the lower Arkansas Valley has recorded.
