<br />Damage Impacts <br /> <br />. The heavy thunderstorm-generated rains along Colorado's Front Range and <br />eastern high plains caused severe flash flooding in many communities. In Fort <br />Collins, five women perished in the mobile home parks north of Spring Creek <br />and west of College Avenue. Numerous homes beyond the 100-year flood- <br />plain were damaged in the city as well as in unincorporated Larimer County. <br />City services were overwhelmed as streets flooded; power was lost in some <br />locations and emergency services personnel worked to keep ahead of ravag- <br />ing floodwaters. <br /> <br />In Morgan and Logan Counties, the communities of Weldona, Atwood and <br />Sterling were all significantly impacted by floodwaters. Roads, bridges, culverts <br />and other stream crossings were damaged or destroyed. Agricultural crops, <br />irrigation facilities and land were destroyed in many areas. The same kinds of <br />damages were experienced in the remaining ten counties, which were declared <br />under FEMA Disaster 1186-CO. <br /> <br />As of October, 1997 the estimated FEMA reimburseble damage amounts were <br />$16,955,750 under the Public Assistance Program and $7,925,000 under the <br />Individual Assistance Program. <br /> <br /> <br />SPRING CREEK.
