🌊 Pagosa Springs is bracing for history.

A couple hours ago I stopped for gas by the river and couldn’t believe what I was seeing — the water is rising fast. They’re saying it could crest above 20 feet by tomorrow morning, possibly the highest our river has run EVER!

I watched a deer get swept into the current right in front of me... and somehow that one clawed its way out. Nature doesn’t play around. If you’re local tonight — please stay safe, keep away from the water, and check on your neighbors. 🙏

Here’s what I know about this town: between the fires, the floods, and years of road construction, Pagosa has taken hit after hit — and we keep getting back up. 💪

Once the water settles, our local businesses are going to need us more than ever. So when it’s safe, come visit. Grab a meal, support the shops, the makers, the folks who make this place home. Every bit helps a neighbor rebuild.
Pagosa’s tough. We’ll get through this one too.
