Others seriously hit belonged to Bill Sisson, Jerry <br />Fiegel, Clark Millison, Julian Vogt, Nick Massaro and Harvey Graves. <br />Schick's car was moved across the street, with mud covering the house, <br />filling the basement with five feet of mud and covering a roomful of new <br />furniture. <br />Fiegels only had time to get their cars out of the garden level garage <br />before the flow hit their house. It piled up three to four feet deep at the <br />front door, broke basement windows, and deposited four feet of mud in the <br />basement. By Monday afternoon, Fiegel had taken 100 wheelbarrow loads from his <br />basement. <br />Sisson had an eight foot sunken patio in his yard which filled level with <br /> <br />mud. <br /> <br />Graves lost his yard and one room of his home because of the debris flow. <br />Townhouses in the Oakhurst area of Blake and Bennett had yards packed with <br />mud, a street littered with boulders, some as big as three or four feet across. <br />John West, then City Manager, gave an estimate of two million dollars <br />damage to the community, with at least $40,000 in plugged sewer lines and mud <br />covered streets. <br />Workmen at the federal building under construction at 24th and Grand found <br />4 inches of mud in every room, destroying much of the recently placed drywall, <br />A truck was knocked over an embankment on the west side of the Roaring Fork <br />River, and some streets and yards were clogged with mud in that area. The city <br />water plant under construction on Red Mountain had water wash around the east <br />end of the building and virtually destroyed both of the settling ponds, which <br />had to be rebuilt. Road and culvert damage also occurred on the access road to <br />the new plant. <br />
