Colorado

The flooding and storm waters that hit the Boulder, Colorado area, especially the town of Lyons, stealthily grew in severity to immense levels.  The infrastructure of the region, was just not prepared to handle a storm and flooding of the strength that occurred within the past few weeks.
Property is destroyed.  People are missing.  Rescue efforts are underway.  The catastrophe is grueling and harsh, to the extent that it makes it very tough for the amounts of cleanup, rescue, and rebuilding, to be at the point yet that an accurate assessment of the damage and toll of lives can be made.

Usually when people are missing, they have about 3 or 4 days to live depending on the person, if they do not have access to food and drink.

Key words for locations:

• Drake in Larimer County
  
• Lyons

Syria

Insofar the concern of unnecessary loss of life, remember that analysts feel that weapons getting into the wrong hands ensuing support for the 'Mujahideen' of Afghanistan that fought to maintain independence from Russia in the early 80's, was some of the fault for the development of terrorist cells we contend with today.  Refined attention to details of policies about any matter, always helps.

Aftermath of Navy Yard Shooting in Washington DC leaves a reported 12 victims dead, and the shooter.  News stories circulate that there were mental challenges of the suspect.  A resurgence of hype for gun control begins to boil.
With indignant austerity, is the recollection of other recent mass murders that have occurred on U.S. soil, albeit, there is with this recollection, to be adamant about 'doing something' that would effectively result in mitigation of mass shooting tragedies, whereon, refined applications of efforts for gun control might help toward the solution and what is doable.

Comments:
Already, thoughts of the Fort Hood shooting that occurred in Texas are evoked, is there a tie, and, or common denominators, in terms of the mindset of those that might have, or had, the tendency to engage in a rampage mannered shooting, from, or in Texas?

The importance of safeguarding ID cards, and using them properly, comes up.
Are there further steps to make facilities more secure?

Does the subject fully read a born-in, lifelong resident native of Fort Worth?
