Rain, A Blessing in Disguise

Beaver Creek, Pueblo West


This May's recorded amount of rain hasn't been seen since 1888,  when monthly precipitation totals began being recorded. This month alone it was recorded that Pueblo got 5.46 inches of rain.

Beaver Creek, Pueblo West
Where some people have found the daily storms to be a hindrance, it has really benefited the whole state that we received so much moisture. According to the Pueblo Chieftain, "...with the exception of Baca and Prowers counties, and a small portion of Bent, Southeastern Colorado is now drought-free."

The effects of the overflow of water was almost immediately noticeable. Being a resident of Pueblo West, these photos of Beaver Creek are prime examples of how much water has fallen recently. Normally this is a dry creek bed, the but now it's quick moving and 3 to 4 feet deep.
make this May the sixth wettest month in Pueblo’s recorded history. - See more at: http://www.chieftain.com/news/weather/3645191-120/pueblo-inches-month-precipitation#sthash.DmaA7DHk.dpuf
