Break in Empire reservoir floods farms in Colorado
A major break in the Empire reservoir caused a half mile wide flood across Green City flats two thirds full at two o clock yesterday. Water rushed toward the South Platte river at high speed, destroying 3000 to 4000 acres of fertile land and threatening crops valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Farmers rushed to the scene with equipment to stem the flow, but efforts failed and the dam wall eroded.
