12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,(USELESS U.N) that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

The civil war that has been ravaging Syria since March of 2011 has
cost more than 110,000 lives thus far. Hundreds of thousands of people
have been injured and more than two million people have been displaced
inside Syria, or are refugees in Turkey and Jordan.The results of war are easily visible in Syria's large cities, including the capital, Damascus. A video shot from a moving car documented the huge extent of devastation along the highway in Damascus's eastern suburbs.Homes and shops have been
turned into piles of rubble and economic activity is largely paralyzed.
Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has been using military force
unsparingly, including attacks from the air, artillery shelling and tank
columns that fire shells ahead of them at anything that looks like a
suspicious hideout, as they advance.The scenes of destruction are characteristic of other cities in
Syria, which will require many years of rebuilding when the civil war is
over. The Syrian regime has lost control over most of the Haleb region
in the north, of Haska and al-Raka, and also of most of Deir a-Zor in
the east and Dera'a in the south.Around Damascus, heavy fighting continues, and the regime is putting
great effort into attempts to block the rebels, who are trying to
advance into the capital in house-to-house fighting. The Syrian Army has
pounded the neighborhoods of Daria and Maazmia al-Sham, next to the
Al-Maza military airfield, with heavy shelling, but has not yet been
able to suppress the rebel forces holing up inside them.Stubborn fighting is raging in two other strategic areas. The rebels
are less than 50 km away from Assad's home town of Kardaha, in the
Alawite enclave in western Syria, while in the mountainous area west of
Damascus, rebels are attempting to break through the Syrian military's
lines. They have succeeded several times in destroying regime tanks.

10 BEST PLACES IN JERUSALEM TO SEE SUKKOT
http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/10-best-places-to-see-sukkot-in-jerusalem/
A flood of youth in the form of 1,200 girls from the Ariel youth
movement traveled to Gush Etzion on Monday to identify with the renewed
pioneering enterprise in the expanses of the land of Israel.
The participants came from around the country and swept over the paths of Netzer and Derech HaAvot (Path of the Patriarchs) located in Gush Etzion.Yehudit Katzover and Nadia Matar, co-directors of the "Women in Green" grassroots Zionist organisation, which campaigns to uphold Jewish rights in the land of Israel, greeted the girls who came to the lands of Netzer. "Many hundreds of girls, from dozens of branches, and with spirits so high they reached the heavens, filled the agricultural plots at Netzer, those agricultural lands that were saved from Arab takeover by the Women in Green movement and the activists of the Netzer Group," they said."The girls turned over the soil of the plots with their hands and with hoes, and watered the trees with water that they brought there in buckets," they said, adding that "the tree is like the soldier in the field who guards the lands of Israel." Katsover and Matar hoped to transmit the message of awareness and inner feeling that "every place on which the girls tread belongs to us, to the Jewish people.""The girls felt how, by their activity and their presence at the site, they continue in the steps of the Patriarchs when they establish facts on the ground for future generations." The trip was organized in exemplary fashion by the Ariel movement, and inculcated in the girls educational messages and values of love of Israel.The trip ended for the girls and the organizers with a sense of raised spirits which was expressed in the promise to return and volunteer in the Women in Green agricultural camp for youth, held at Netzer during the year.Yossi Vardi, the Director General of the Ariel movement, shared how the connection between the movement and Women in Green began. "When we were on the road, preparing the Sukkot trip in the Gush Etzion region, we passed through Netzer and we discovered the tremendous activity that is being done by Women in Green for the redemption of lands, and we decided to bring the girls there, as one of the stops on the trip."In the stops on their trip, the members of the Ariel youth movement go to different sites where emphasis is placed on a central value from the life of the Jewish people. Among the other stops, they learned of the values of the sanctity of the Jewish people at a site with a mikveh (ritual bath) from the Second Temple period, the value of aliyah le-regel, or pilgrimage to the Temple (Jews walked along this very route on their way to Jerusalem), and additional values.On the meeting itself between the movement's girls, youth leaders, and branch leaders with Women in Green, he relates: "After we discovered the place, we contacted Women in Green and asked how we can help. The girls worked at removing stones, hoeing, clearing the area, and watering and caring for the trees. We intend to continue this connection with Women in Green. We will sit together and see how we are continuing together, and strengthen the connection of the members of the Ariel movement to the Land of Israel, to the Torah of Israel, and to the redemption of the land.""We are happy for having merited seeing this wonderful and pure youth that grows naturally in its land, Eretz Israel," Katsover and Matar sum up the entire event and invite the public to come to Netzer on the intermediate days of the holiday of Sukkot. A kosher sukkah set up by Women in Green will be waiting there for visitors and hikers.

Obama said the US is interested “in resolving
this nuclear issue in a way that would allow Iran to rejoin the
international community” but Iran will have to prove to the world “that
it’s not trying to weaponize nuclear power.”On Sunday, Obama revealed that he had
exchanged letters with the recently elected Iranian president, a fact
confirmed by Tehran on Tuesday.The two leaders will both attend next week’s
United Nations General Assembly in New York, with Obama expected to
address the plenum on Tuesday morning, and Rouhani speaking on Tuesday
afternoon. Officials says no meeting has been scheduled between them,
although White House press secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that he
doubted Obama would “duck into another hall” to avoid the Iranian
president should they encounter each other in the halls of the UN.On Monday, Iran’s nuclear chief, Ali Akbar
Salehi, said the chances for a breakthrough have improved thanks to
unity among the new Iranian leadership over what it will seek in the
next round of negotiations. He did not elaborate. But Iran wants an end
to the economic and political sanctions it faces over fears it is
progressing to nuclear weapons ability.Rouhani is seen by many as more moderate than
his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, though Israeli leaders have warned
that Iran is merely putting on a friendlier face to the West while
continuing enrichment of nuclear materials.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is
to meet with Obama in Washington DC later this month, ahead of his
scheduled address at the UN General Assembly in New York, and will urge a
stepping up of pressure on Iran to abandon its nuclear drive.“In a week and a half, I will go to the United
Nations General Assembly, and before that I will meet with President
Obama. I intend to focus on stopping Iranian nuclear program. Really
stopping the nuclear program,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting
Tuesday.The prime minister presented four criteria for
doing so: “1. Halting all uranium enrichment; 2. Removing all enriched
uranium; 3. Closing [the Fordo enrichment facility at] Qom; and 4.
Stopping the plutonium track.”Evidently responding to suggestions that the
US might be willing to lift or reduce some sanctions on Iran in return
for diplomatic progress, Netanyahu added: “Until it is genuinely
stopped, the pressure on Iran must be stepped up, not eased or reduced.”Raphael Ahren and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Arabs attacked police forces that patrolled on the Temple Mount Wednesday morning.The patrol was carried out on the basis of intelligence, according to
which Arabs intend to throw rocks from one of the mosques. The patrol
was then attacked in precisely that way, with rocks thrown from within a
mosque.
Two policemen were slightly hurt by rocks and received treatment on the spot. One was evacuated for further treatment.The forces dispersed several dozen rioters, but several dozen other rioting youths entered the mosque. Police are not letting them come out of the mosque, at the moment.Three suspects have been arrested – one for incitement and two for rioting. Quiet has been restored and visits to the Temple Mount continue as usual.The Temple Mount is the site of the two Holy Temples of Jerusalem, the last of which was destroyed by the Romans in 70CE, and is Judaism's holiest place.Yet despite that fact Jews are banned from carrying out any forms of religious worship on the Mount, for fear of offending Muslim worshippers at the Al Aqsa Islamic complex which today sits upon the ruins of the Temples.Muslim extremists regularly incite against Jewish visitors to the Mount, and Jewish visitors are sometimes face harassment and physical attacks at the hands of Muslim worshippers.

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
DENVER (Reuters) - Colorado authorities coping with the aftermath of
last week's deadly downpours stepped up the search for victims left
stranded in the foothills of the Rockies and evacuations of prairie
towns in danger of being swamped as the flood crest moved downstream.As of Tuesday, eight people were confirmed dead from flash floods
triggered by a week of historically heavy rains that drenched a 130-mile
(210-km) stretch of the eastern slopes of the Colorado Rockies, with at
least 1,600 homes destroyed.
Clusters of towns in the foothills of Larimer and Boulder counties northwest of Denver bore the brunt of the disaster, as floodwaters roared down rain-saturated mountainsides through canyons that funneled the torrent into populated areas below.The flooding has since progressed downstream and spread out onto the prairie, submerging large tracts of farmland as well as oil and gas well sites in the region as high water rolled eastward toward Nebraska.The overall flood zone ultimately grew to encompass 17 Colorado counties, including the state's biggest urban centers, across a normally semi-arid region about the size of Delaware.
As the skies finally cleared on Monday, search-and-rescue teams fanned out on foot, in National Guard military vehicles and in helicopters to reach thousands of people cut off in communities isolated by washed-out roads and bridges.At the same time, emergency management officials in counties further to the east grappled with downstream flooding along the newly engorged South Platte River, which has carried much of the runoff from last week's torrential rains.Emergency management officials ordered the evacuation early on Tuesday of the tiny riverside town of Crook in northeastern Colorado, where firefighters went door to door asking residents to leave.High water along the South Platte also forced the closure of every bridge on the river in Logan County, essentially cutting the county in half, officials said. The flood crest was expected to reach the larger riverside town of Julesburg on the Nebraska border on Tuesday afternoon.
LOOKING FOR STRANDED SURVIVORS
Meanwhile, search-and-rescue teams continued to comb through canyon areas hit by flash floods at the height of the disaster, looking for more stranded survivors, said Micki Trost, a spokeswoman for the state Office of Emergency Management.She said local police and fire personnel as well as search teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were taking part in the ground operations.Nearly 12,000 people have been evacuated to shelters since last week, but at least 1,000 more had yet to be reached on Monday in Larimer County alone.Trost said the number of people unaccounted for throughout the flood zone had declined to fewer than 500, many of them believed to be merely cut off in remote areas without telephone or Internet service.In addition to some 1,500 homes destroyed and 4,500 damaged in Larimer County, 200 businesses have been lost and 500 damaged, officials there said. Boulder County officials said more than 100 homes were destroyed in the hard-hit town of Lyons but had no countywide property loss figures.
President Barack Obama declared the area a major disaster over the weekend, freeing up federal funds and resources to aid state and local governments.Meanwhile, standing water left by the floods was expected to cause significant damage to crops in the predominantly agricultural communities of Morgan County, northeast of Denver.Oil and natural gas production also was disrupted in the fossil-fuel-rich region of eastern Colorado known as the Denver-Julesburg Basin, with roughly 1,000 wells shut down by flooding, several energy companies reported on Monday.Local environmental activists have raised concerns about potential leaks of gas, oil and hazardous materials from well sites and other energy facilities compromised by flooding. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said it was working with health authorities to assess environmental impacts.Last week's downpour, the heaviest to hit the region in four decades, experts said, dumped up to 21 inches of rain in parts of Boulder city, northwest of Denver, nearly double the area's average annual rainfall.The last multi-day rainfall to spawn widespread flooding in Colorado's Front Range occurred in 1969. But a single-night downpour from a 1976 thunderstorm triggered a flash flood that killed more than 140 people in Big Thompson Canyon.(Reporting by Keith Coffman; Writing and additional reporting by Steve Gorman; Editing by James Dalgleish)

The engine of Curia reform is warming up
The Curia
The Council of eight cardinals meets with the Pope between 1 and 3 October. All heads of Holy See dicasteries have presented proposals
Andrea Tornielli vatican city The programme for the meeting of eight cardinals in charge of advising the Pope on the “government of the universal Church” and studying " a project of revision of the Apostolic Constitution Pastor bonus on the Roman Curia” has been set. But before the three-day work session with Francis (1-3 October) begins, next week cardinals will hold a number of informal meetings to set straight as many details as possible and make the meetings in which the Pope will actually be present, more fruitful.Readers will recall that last 13 April, exactly a month after his election to the papacy, Bergoglio appointed a group of eight cardinals from across all continents: Giuseppe Bertello (the group's only Italian Curia member), Francisco Javier Errázuriz Ossa (the group’s only emeritus member), Oswald Gracias, Reinhard Marx, Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya, Sean Patrick O’Malley, George Pell and Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga. Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga is also the group coordinator, while Marcello Semeraro, Bishop of Albano (Italy), will function as secretary.Over the past few months, cardinals have been in touch with one another, bouncing ideas and suggestions off each other and above all, collecting material and requests from their respective Episcopates. But the Pope’s closest collaborators, the members of the Roman Curia were not excluded from this process either. All heads of dicasteries presented reform proposals or at least proposals to improve coordination between Curia offices and their activities. At last Tuesday’s inter-dicasterial meeting, convened by Francis, everyone present gave a summary of the proposals given. So the Curia itself is playing a key part in the global rethinking of its activities.There are two main issues the group of eight cardinals is set to discuss with the Pope. The first is to do with some questions relating to Church life: collegiality, the relationship between the central Church in Rome and local Churches and between the Curia and Episcopal Conferences and the potential reform of the Synod of Bishops. Episcopates from across all continents have gathered heaps of material, requests and suggestions regarding this issue.The second big issue is the reform of the Roman Curia, which does not include the reform of the Vatican bank (IOR). The IOR issue is something the group of eight cardinals will not be dealing with directly as there is another commission in charge of this, headed by Cardinal Raffaele Farina. The ideas being discussed include streamlining the Curia which has often been seen as a central government body of the Church instead of a body there to assist the Bishop of Rome in his universal ministry. The streamlining process could involve the merging of some pontifical councils (some of these could, for example, could be merged into a new Congregation for the Laity). The Secretariat of State’s structure is another issue.During their meeting with the Pope, the eight cardinals will also have to decide whether to create a new role, that of the moderator curiae, as proposed by Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio. There are others who are in favour of this. Such a figure would share the Vatican Secretariat of State’s responsibilities in that the latter would be in charge of international relations, while the moderator curiae As press conference on the return flight to Rome after World Youth Day in Rio, Francis answered a question about remarried divorcees, saying: “I believe that we need to look at this within the larger context of the entire pastoral care of marriage. And so … one of the themes to be examined with the eight members of the Council of Cardinals with whom I will meet on 1-3 October is how to move forward in the pastoral care of marriage, and this problem will come up there.” The Pope also added that the pastoral care of marriage was an issue that should have been examined further in a Synod.DRUG PUSHERS AND ADDICTS

EU commission attacks 'legal highs'
17.09.13 @ 20:03
By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - The European Commission has
proposed to make it easier to ban "legal highs" and for countries to
jail people who ignore the bans.Legal highs are chemicals which replicate the effects of illicit drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy or marijuana.There is a long list of them available in some high street shops or on the internet, and the list is getting ever longer.In 2005, member states notified just over 20 new psychoactive
substances to the EU's anti-drugs agency, the EMCDDA in Lisbon. But in
2011, they flagged up 49. In 2012, they notified 73.So far, EU countries have banned just nine substances on the basis of EMCDDA recommendations.One reason for the low number is the long time it takes - around two years - for the EU process to work.But under Tuesday's proposals, the ECMDDA and the EU's joint police
body, Europol, in the Hague, can impose a temporary ban on sales to
consumers "within weeks" if a substance is deemed risky.They can also impose a permanent ban on sales to consumers and
industry within 10 months if a substance is deemed to pose a "severe
risk."In a parallel legal proposal, the commission recommended that EU
countries impose jail sentences of between one and 10 years on people
who sell "severe risk" chemicals after an EU ban.A recent commission survey noted that young people in Ireland, Poland, Latvia and the UK are the biggest users.But EU justice commissioner Viviane Reding tried to put individual
faces on the problem in Brussels on Tuesday (17 September) by naming two
people who recently died.She named Sean, a 22-year-old from Belfast who died after taking
"China White" which he bought in a high street shop, and Alex, a
19-year-old from Edinburgh, who died after someone gave him "Benzo Fury"
at a festival.
Reding noted the new measure is flexible because around one fifth of legal highs are used in industry or medical research.She said chemicals deemed to be of "moderate risk" will still be available to companies and to research institutes, unlike the total ban on "high risk" substances.She noted she has already done "political work" on EU countries' governments, so that relatively lenient states, such as the Netherlands and Spain, are on board.She acknowledged it will be "difficult" to stop internet sales even if her law gets through, however.
Asked by one journalist if prohibition risks creating a new black market, Reding dismissed the idea out of hand.She said she had a debate on prohibition in her home country in Luxembourg 33 years ago and that "I am not going to continue this discussion 33 years later."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of U.S. residents living in
poverty edged up to 46.5 million last year, the latest sign that an
economic recovery marked by a stock market boom has not trickled down to
ordinary Americans.The figures from the Census Bureau on Tuesday highlighted the
lingering scars from the 2007-2009 recession and added fresh fuel to
debates over government austerity and widening income inequality. It
could also renew calls to raise the minimum wage.Although the number of people in poverty went up from 46.2 million
in 2011, the national poverty rate was unchanged at 15 percent, the
annual report said. The poverty threshold in 2012 was an income of
$23,492 for a family of four."Today's data underscore that it is time for Congress to pivot from a
focus on austerity to an agenda emphasizing jobs and shared economic
growth," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American
Progress, a liberal policy group in Washington.The recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s has been
marked by a jump in stock prices to record highs, aided in part by the
Federal Reserve's ultra easy monetary policy.While the Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 16 percent on a
total return basis last year, including reinvested dividends, the Census
Bureau report showed median household income slipped to $51,017 from of
$51,100 in 2011.
The economy has struggled to sustain growth rates of more than 2.5 percent since the recession ended.
Although the bulk of the more than 8 million jobs lost during the downturn have been recouped, many of the jobs have been in services industries such as retail and restaurants that typically do not pay well.Belt-tightening in Washington to slash the government's budget deficit has significantly shrunk the social safety net.
About 16.1 million children and 3.9 million people aged 65 years and older were living in poverty last year.
"Millions are struggling to keep their heads above water, while the richest one percent is doing better than ever," said Joan Entmacher, vice president of Family Economic Security at the National Women's Law Center in Washington.
MORE HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE
There was some encouraging news in the report. About 48 million people did not have health insurance last year, down slightly from 48.6 million in 2011.The number with health insurance rose to 263.2 million in 2012 from 260.2 million the prior year. The rate of uninsured people declined for a second straight year since President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010.Much of the decline was due to an increase in enrollment in the Medicare program for Older Americans as the population aged, said Brett O'Hara, chief of the health and disability statistics branch of the Census Bureau. O'Hara also cited expansion of government-paid coverage for children.The U.S. government expects further declines in the uninsured rate. About 9 million people are expected to gain insurance through the expansion of the Medicaid program for the poor in 2014, now planned in about half of U.S. states.An additional 7 million people are expected to buy insurance in 2014 on subsidized, state-based public exchanges set up under the law.Employment-based insurance coverage fell to 54.9 percent from 55.1 percent. The rate of people insured through government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid rose to 32.6 percent from 32.2 percent.In 2012, the uninsured rate for households with annual income less than $25,000 was 24.9 percent compared with a 7.9 percent rate for those households with income of $75,000 or more, the report said.The uninsured rate for children in poverty was 12.9 percent compared with 7.7 percent for children not in poverty, the Census found.

GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.
Colorado evacuations continue as flood crest moves downstream
Keith Coffman
13 hours ago-sept 17,13-yahoonews-By Keith Coffman
Clusters of towns in the foothills of Larimer and Boulder counties northwest of Denver bore the brunt of the disaster, as floodwaters roared down rain-saturated mountainsides through canyons that funneled the torrent into populated areas below.The flooding has since progressed downstream and spread out onto the prairie, submerging large tracts of farmland as well as oil and gas well sites in the region as high water rolled eastward toward Nebraska.The overall flood zone ultimately grew to encompass 17 Colorado counties, including the state's biggest urban centers, across a normally semi-arid region about the size of Delaware.
As the skies finally cleared on Monday, search-and-rescue teams fanned out on foot, in National Guard military vehicles and in helicopters to reach thousands of people cut off in communities isolated by washed-out roads and bridges.At the same time, emergency management officials in counties further to the east grappled with downstream flooding along the newly engorged South Platte River, which has carried much of the runoff from last week's torrential rains.Emergency management officials ordered the evacuation early on Tuesday of the tiny riverside town of Crook in northeastern Colorado, where firefighters went door to door asking residents to leave.High water along the South Platte also forced the closure of every bridge on the river in Logan County, essentially cutting the county in half, officials said. The flood crest was expected to reach the larger riverside town of Julesburg on the Nebraska border on Tuesday afternoon.
LOOKING FOR STRANDED SURVIVORS
Meanwhile, search-and-rescue teams continued to comb through canyon areas hit by flash floods at the height of the disaster, looking for more stranded survivors, said Micki Trost, a spokeswoman for the state Office of Emergency Management.She said local police and fire personnel as well as search teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were taking part in the ground operations.Nearly 12,000 people have been evacuated to shelters since last week, but at least 1,000 more had yet to be reached on Monday in Larimer County alone.Trost said the number of people unaccounted for throughout the flood zone had declined to fewer than 500, many of them believed to be merely cut off in remote areas without telephone or Internet service.In addition to some 1,500 homes destroyed and 4,500 damaged in Larimer County, 200 businesses have been lost and 500 damaged, officials there said. Boulder County officials said more than 100 homes were destroyed in the hard-hit town of Lyons but had no countywide property loss figures.
President Barack Obama declared the area a major disaster over the weekend, freeing up federal funds and resources to aid state and local governments.Meanwhile, standing water left by the floods was expected to cause significant damage to crops in the predominantly agricultural communities of Morgan County, northeast of Denver.Oil and natural gas production also was disrupted in the fossil-fuel-rich region of eastern Colorado known as the Denver-Julesburg Basin, with roughly 1,000 wells shut down by flooding, several energy companies reported on Monday.Local environmental activists have raised concerns about potential leaks of gas, oil and hazardous materials from well sites and other energy facilities compromised by flooding. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said it was working with health authorities to assess environmental impacts.Last week's downpour, the heaviest to hit the region in four decades, experts said, dumped up to 21 inches of rain in parts of Boulder city, northwest of Denver, nearly double the area's average annual rainfall.The last multi-day rainfall to spawn widespread flooding in Colorado's Front Range occurred in 1969. But a single-night downpour from a 1976 thunderstorm triggered a flash flood that killed more than 140 people in Big Thompson Canyon.(Reporting by Keith Coffman; Writing and additional reporting by Steve Gorman; Editing by James Dalgleish)
