The Grice family has owned a cabin in Glen Haven, Colo., for 90 years. Doug and Sandy Grice have lived there for the last 32 years, repairing, maintaining and improving the property and home they affectionately call "Glen Rock." The cabin is located on the North Fork of the Big Thompson River, and it has survived many floods, the most devastating of which happened in September 2013.
The flood occurred along the Continental Divide and mostly affected people living in cabins along the rivers and on lakes between 6,000 and 8,000 feet above sea level in Colorado. Doug Grice quips: "When you live on the water, you will get your feet wet!"
In the video and photos below, you can see the damage caused by the flood, live rescues in the area, and the aftermath of the disaster.
