“It started raining and it didn’t stop for 18 hours,” Robinson said.
The family was forced to evacuate again last fall during the Cameron Peak Fire, the largest recorded wildfire in Colorado history.
“You can see the scar line for the fires right up there, so we were that close to the Cameron Peak Fire,” Robinson said. “We have five neighbors that lost their homes just up the hill.”
On Sunday, the Robinsons left their home behind once more due to flooding and were grateful to see the damage was confined to their landscaping.
They were hopeful the sandbags would mitigate any further damage from another run-in with Mother Nature.
