\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Many people watched on television as roads washed away, homes<\/a> were destroyed, and people scrambled to stay afloat on anything they could find as they waited for rescue workers. Stapleton resident Eric Crawford was in a slightly different boat, albeit, just as difficult. \u201cMy satellite TV was going in and out, and I was trying to watch a movie on HBO,\u201d said Crawford. \u201cTo make matters worse, I had to go out into the rain to bucket out the window well. To some, I\u2019m a hero, but really I\u2019m just an ordinary man doing extraordinary things.\u201d\n\nIt wasn\u2019t just the family home Crawford was concerned with. \u201cThe night before I had left my BMW out front,\u201d said Crawford. \u201cI was very worried about hail. However, I didn\u2019t want to have to go out into the rain to drive it around into the garage. I would sit there for minutes at a time just staring, praying that nothing would happen to my baby (car).\u201d\nThe Crawford family struggles did not end there. \u201cWe have a regular play date at the park,\u201d said Crawford. \u201cObviously, that play date was washed away, and we were forced to stay inside. I ended up having to color and play with Play-Doh. It was pretty trying in our house.\u201d\nThe Crawfords are just one story out of hundreds of Stapleton families who struggled to endure the countless inconveniences that flooded their way due to the incredible amounts of rainfall. Kids had athletic programs canceled, parents couldn\u2019t do their outdoor boot camps, and dogs couldn\u2019t be walked for two days. But, the enduring spirit of the people of Stapleton lives on, and Stapleton residents will quickly get back to their lives as if nothing ever happened.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
