To be sure, the flooding that northeastern Colorado has seen in the past two weeks is serious business. However sometimes, as one Boulder County Sheriff’s deputy shows, humor can provide a bit of relief.
Helicopters have proven to be invaluable in rendering aid in the wake of the devastating floods. The operation has been called the largest aerial rescue since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
With roads destroyed, many locations in the foothills have only been able to be reached by air. Helicopters from the Colorado and Wyoming National Guard and the U.S. Army have flown thousands of sorties and rescued hundreds of people.
This week images showed up on Reddit showing a ticket one deputy wrote as a joke to a Black Hawk pilot for parking on an area highway.
Posted under the chopper’s windshield wiper, the ticket ostensibly cites the U.S. Army for ‘Parking in a no parking zone’ and ‘Parking facing the wrong way.’
As we say, we are glad to find something with the floods we can smile about.
